Hello,
This is somewhat of a common issue with any of these 6cyl GM engines.
It is usually caused by moisture in the distributor or the coil pack.
During high humidity or rain moisture goes into the distributor cap or in to the coil pack due to poor seal.
You should able to clean out the distributor and replace the cap with new O-ring.
Typically the coil have to be replaced.
Be sure to inspect the ignition control module as well.
