The first thing I would do is rig up a fuel pressure gauge in a way that you can run the hose out the back of the hood and tape the gauge to the windshield so you can drive it and watch the fuel pressure. This engine is very pressure sensitive and must maintain over 55 PSI at all times.

I have a 2001 Jimmy with similar problem.
I also have over the last few months made some repairs like: new fuel pump, rotor cap & coil before it started to do this engine miss. I have noticed that when mine acts up always at/or around 55/60mph. Either way with cruse control on or using foot pedal the tach. jumps up and down eratickly but the rpm's of engine is not going up and down . Engine runs fine at higher speeds or lower speeds.
Could that possibly be a flat spot in TPS?

Please starts a new question of your own. We can't address 2 different cars in the same question.
