Check your ignition control module, usually mounted in the distributor, under the cap..Sometimes the back side dries out, losing contact and burning the unit. If you replace it, make sure you use good dielectric grease on the back to ensure contact.When you remove the icm (typically needs a special GM tool) it may not look or smell burnt, but if it's dry then I would strongly suspect it is your problem.
Good luck!!

How do I check the fuel pump relay for problems?

If the battery is dying that quickly you need a new battery
On the Tahoe K series 5.7L the fuel pump relay is in the engine compartment to the rear of the engine control module, should be identified on the cover over the relays

Will a security system on 2001 Chevy Tahoe prevent the engine from getting spark

Hello. Yes, your Chevrolet's security system will 'shut-down' the ignition system; causing your truck to start but stop instantly. The truck 'thinks' it is being 'stolen' and will 'enable' it's security system to 'hamper' stealing it. Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.

I replaced fuel pump in 1996 tahoe it wont get gas to start

Are you missing anything else, besides gas? Engine cranking, did you check for spark at the plugs and fuel injector pulse? Any applicable trouble codes? Did you check voltage and ground to fuel pump motor, before replacing anything?

Tahoe wont start, cranks tries to fire

Sounds like a fuel delivery problem. Has the fuel filter ever been changed? You can try banging on the bottom of the fuel tank with a blunt object ( hammer works ) while some one cranks the engine. If it starts suspect a bad fuel pump

I have a 1997 Tahoe 5.7L 4 door model that ran fine all day. Next morning it wouldnt start. It will try to turn over but wont crank. The fuel pump does engage, filter is clean. Fuel flow goes to injectors...

Well,first off you need to make sure you are getting spark to the spark plugs first.Get some insulated pliers and pull off a spark plug wire,hold it next to the frame or exhaust and have someone spin the engine over.You should see spark jumping between the plug and the ground.If you do not,then you have an ignition problem.If you can spray fuel in the intake and it wont even try to start,then it sounds like you have an igniton problem.Verify that before going too far with the fuel system.If you have spark,then it may be your ECM could be fried and is not letting the fuel injectors open but it should still try and start if you are spraying fuel directly into the air intake.IF it has spark.

2004 tahoe. Worked fine two days ago. Wont start but turns over. replaced fuel filter,now what?

check for spark and fuel at the motor! take one of the spark plug wires off and remove the spark plug and put the wire back on it and rest the spark plug on a negitive ground point and have someone try to start it and see if the is spark. to check to see if fuel is getting up there locate the fuel presure relief valve on the fuel rail that the injectors are connected to and while someone it trying to start it depress the valve and see if fuel squirt out.

1997 Tahoe wont start, has spark, and fuel pump works

Your Tahoe does have a vacuum line connection to the regulator. It's also possible the regulator itself is bad,
