Suburban won't start!
I have a 03 suburban z71 5.3l. I can not get this thing to run. I've changed injectors, spark plugs, wires, fuel pump. So this is what it is doing. I turn the key and and fires but will not run. Just keep turning over and firing but dies instantly. My computer said #7 and #8 cylinder are dead. The last thing I can do is coils. But I would like to know if any of you have had similar problems. Or could think of anything else I could check? Any feedback is great! First post on THIS fourm!

You could try juicing small amounts of starting fluid in the throttle body to see if it's a fuel problem. I'm just a farm kid and like working on the 78 Power Wagon a lot more than my 07 'burb.
I hit the forums and found guys out there have had similar issues with PassLock system malfuntioning: "To relearn, turn the ignition key to the on position for 3 10 minute cycles, turning the key to the off position for 5 seconds after each 10 minute learn. It will start but you may have this problem again & will get tired of having this happen & will need a new passlock sensor eventually."
Just trying out cheap and easy ideas here..

If it runs on ether I'm inclined to think fuel issue.. I'm betting you changed the fuel filter. Probably got power to the fuel pump. There's a pressure regulator in there somewhere.. You got a fuel pressure gauge on hand?
