Best Answer

Before starting the engine, disconnect the hose from the intake manifold. Open the throttle and spray some quick start fluid into the intake manifold. Reconnect the hose and try starting the engine. If the engine starts right up then you may want to repeat this til your satified the problem is in the fuel system. The fuel system consist of the fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator, injectors, fuel pump relay, computer, fuse, and fuel lines. There's a whole lot going on there, so be very careful before replacing any of these, because they can all be checked.

What would be making a constant ringing like when the key is left in the ignition and the door is open as you drive your 99 Chevy Silverado?

Check to see if the turn signal is left on. Some chevvy vehicles (not positive about the Silverado)have a beeping noise that sounds much like the door open chime. Hope this helps. you should not be driving with the door open you could fall out or cause an accident This is probably caused from the micro switch in the ignition switch other than replacing it just put the key back in then pull it out again
