Re: 2000 silverado 5.3 starting problem!

fuel pressure regulator can cause this symptom. it's on the driver's side fuel rail and can be easily replaced for about $60...but to be sure you should have it checked out. One way to check is by pulling the vacuum hose off of it, if fuel comes out then the internal diaphram is ruptured and it's bad.
