My vehicle occasionally (seems more apt to when very humid or damp) refuses to start. Cranks over fine even seems to fire while starter is engaged, but dies when key is released. If I then wait 10 minutes, I can start it and drive away. This has done this for a couple of years, but seems to be happening more often and is pretty annoying. Any thoughts?

Id start by checking fuel pressure, at that mileage your GM pump is probably going bad. Next time it wont start, also check for spark out of the coil and if good at the plugs.
