If it was the bolt for the grounding strap that seemed to make the difference, remove the bolt and clean it and the threads in the body as well as you can. I added a star washer under the strap to be able to bite through the paint for a better ground. Add some dielectric grease before putting it back together. See if the problem stays away after that.
If not, then the ignition switch is a possibility. GM has issued a TSB for it.
We're here to help - so, post whatever problems you have and we'll do our best to help.
