    if you can keep the engine running by lightly stepping on the gas pedal then take a look at your IAC, it controls your idle speed. sometimes you can just clean it out with spray carb cleaner.

    if the engine will start, run for a few seconds ( less than 5) then die as if it were out of gas -change the crank position sensor

'99 Chevy Silverado hissing sound under the hood.

You may have a disconnected or broken vacuum line. With the engine running, open the hood and try to locate the noise.

2005 chevy silverado won;t start.

i had the same problem, and it turned out the coil pack was moulding inside wich stopped the spark all together, i ended up changing my coil pack and putting on new wires because the ends connected to the coil were very corroded and that cures the not running part just fine
