What work was recently done to the vehicle? An incorrectly installed CMP or CKP sensor could be the culprit, along with a bad coil or misaligned distributor. If the distributor has been recently replaced or removed, ensure that the rotor is pointed at the 8 and not the 6 at #1 cylinder compression TDC. The distributor body has marks so that it can be used in both the Vortec V8 and V6, and installing it incorrectly could cause severe timing advance, which would be made bad enough to stall the vehicle (or damage the engine) when vacuum or electronic advance comes into play
