Check your timing belt. It may have broken or jumped a tooth. If it looks worn, replace it, and be sure to retime the sprockets when you do it.

You replaced timing belt on 1999 Tahoe how do you set timing?

If you've already removed the timing cover there are markings on the top and bottom gears. Make sure they are lined up before putting the belt back on (if it has a belt) most chevys have timing chains. Anyway, once you've done that and reinstalled everything; the timing is adjusted by loosening the bolt on the bottom of the distributor. Once you've done this, with the truck running slowly rotate the distributor in either direction until the truck is running smoothly in idle. Once this is done retighten the bolt.

1987 suburban stopped running now has no spark replaced coil cap rotor electronic ignition module in distributor?

I'm not sure I understand your question. The ignition module is suspect in this case and yes, it's under the distributor cap. You may also want to replace the distributor cap and rotor while your at it, they're cheap parts and hair-line cracks in a distributor cap can be hard to detect. If all of these fail I'd look at replacing the coil and coil wire to the distributor.
