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.

Where is the fuel reset button on a 1998 Chevy Tahoe

There is no fuel reset button on Chevy vehicles . I suggest you watch this video on fuel pump relay testing . GM Fuel Pump Relay Testing Because this is what is involved in trouble shooting fuel pump systems on GM vehicles !

Why wont my 98 chevy tahoe start

Either it is not getting fuel into the cylinders OR the spark plugs are not firing. Could be defective ignition switch, blown fuse to the fuel pump, blown fuse to the ignition, bad connection somewhere, you failed to pay for your permit to drive from the Homeland Security Bureau

Chevy tahoe crank but not start i hear the fuel pump

These vehicles are prone to failed antitheft security systems. When these fail, the system shuts down the fuel injectors because the security can't read the key properly.

My 1999 Chevy Tahoe wont start unless i spray starting fluid into the air intake but once it starts it runs fine, The fuel filter is brand new in it too, if it is the fuel pump how much will it cost me?

It is not a fuel pump problem.
It a cold start valve problem. It didn't open. There are 2 things to check.
1- The cooling thermal sensor is not sending the proper signal to the ECU to turn on the cold start valve.
2- The bad solenoid inside the cold start valve causing it not operational.
Case 1 you can easily replace the thermal sensor.
Case 2 checking this requires professional skill to confirm if there is a signal at the valve during the start.
Good luck

My 1997 chevy tahoe will not start without starting fluid. I hear the fuel pump running and have changed the fuel pressure regulator already and the fuel filter. The pump is only a year old. Have checked...

IVE HAD PLENTY OF THESE GO OUT EVEN A MONTH LATER. AS FAR AS THE STARTING FLUID JUST TRY AND CYCLE KEY BUT KEEP IT FROM TURNING STATER OVER. TURN ON AND OFF ABOUT 3 TO 5 TIMES IT SHOULD BUILD ENOUGH PRESSURE TO START. TO START MINIMUN PRESS IS 55PSI.
