'01 Suburban turns over but won't start
Amen

The truck has a 5.3 and 118,000 miles.
When I turn the key, it turns over then immediately shuts off.
I'll turn the key 10-20 more times and the same thing happens.
I'll come back to the car 15 minutes later and it starts with no issue.
Once the car is running, no problems whatsoever!
This doesn't happen every time I start the car, just randomly.
It first happened once in the winter and I thought it was because of the weather.
It didn't do it again until about 3 weeks ago and it's happened 4 times since.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Are you saying it turns over, starts, and then dies? Or it simply turns over, no start, then quits spinning?
Just trying to clarify.

Get a fuel pressure test done on vehicle. Can you here the pump running (pump in tank) with the key in run posistion? Possible plugged fuel filter?
