Possibly fuel pump getting weak.......fuel pressure regulator may be going bad..........fuel filter dirty......... those could be some........I would change out a fuel filter first, cheap and never hurts......... then try this.............turn the key to on.........and wait a few seconds, and then crank............if the engines fires right up...you are looking at a fuel pressure issue. Those are my suggestions to start. I had this problem with my 1996 Tahoe also....it turned out to be the fuel pressure regulator ...you must remove the intake manifold to get to the regulator....parts cost was $89.73 for the regulator and $30.30 for the intake gasket ...labor at a good shop was $206.06.....
