Could be the ignition control module, they have been known to fail when hot. Really need to figure out if it's losing spark or fuel. Have you checked fuel pressure? This link will walk you through it: https://blazerforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=45941

Sounds like the module to me as well,over miles these don't "heat-sink" well either...

i changed out the coil and module with a junk yard one and i drove it around the neighborhood a couple times then let it run for about an hour without cutting off so hopefully this will fix my problem i have to change out my brake booster first and then im going to take it out and see what happens
