Stuck relay or the starter is wired incorrectly.
Ensure the battery is charged. Unlock car on the key fob. Turn key in ignition to position 3 (ignition fully on but not at start) for 30s to 1 min. Return to fully off for 30s. Back to position 3 for 30s, to off for 30s. Then turn key straight to start position, engine should now catch on the started. This should reset the imobiliser. Needed after the car is jumped from another car if the battery has run flat because its french and so is afraid of work. Hope it works for you Matt
maybe the neutral safety switch
Put the key in the drivers side door lock and turn it to the unlocked position. Next turn it to the locked position and then back to the unlocked position. The system should now be reset. Start the car and allow it to run for at least 10 minutes.
It seems to me that the contacts inside the switch may be going bad. Or the solenoid/starter may be on the brink of going bad. It is normal to turn the key all the way into start position and most accessories go out temporarily until car engine starts and then when key switch is released back into run position the rest of the accessories return power.

No. With electronic fuel injection on today's cars, the fuel system gets fully charged when you turn the ignition key to the on position. This is true whether you are starting a car parked overnight or one that has been run recently.
Have you tried changing the ignition switch?
I had a simalar problem on my 99 e320. It turned out to be a crankshaft position sensor. by the way, the engine cranks automatically until it starts (or doesn't) even if you let go of the key and let it return to the run position. other possibilitys include the ignition key
Insert key and turn to run position.Insert key and turn to run position.
Turn your key to the run position without attempting to crank. Leave it in this position for about 10 seconds. If your Tahoe is equipped with the battery meter, let the meter reach its peak. Then attemp to start.
Try leaving your key in the "on" position for a few minutes. Your car has a pressurized system that needs to re-pressurize when it runs dry. The fuel pump only runs when the key is on the "on" position. ======================================================== When you turn your ignition key to the " RUN " position just before starting the vehicle , the ELECTRIC fuel pump will only run for 2 or 3 seconds if you don't start the vehicle . Try cycling the ignition key from the OFF position to the RUN position a few times if needed

Put key in the ignition turn key to on/run position, then back 1 click to acessories position repeat 2 more times (3 total)
Put the key in the ignition and turn it into the run position, but don't start the car. Leave the key in the ignition until the security light stops flashing. The car will start now.
Yes. after a period of time either the chip will "forget" of the "reader" can go bad. Sometimes if you turn the key to "run" position without trying to start the car for about 2 minutes key may "reprogram" itself.
Key protection. Take key out. Put back in and turn to on position. Leave it there for 15 minutes. Turn car off. Take key out. Put key back in and start the car. The computer has been reset.
Turn the key to the run position and then put it on neutral. c.s.
