Intermittant starting problems those Silverados are almost always caused by a failed fuel pump. Hang onto your wallet if you need one of those!
It needs to be tested by attaching a fuel pressure gage.
Also, do keep an eye on the security light, if that's staying on, you've got another problem all together.

Many times the fuel pressure regulator will leak fuel into its vac line causing hard starting as it is dumping extra gas into the engine. Check the vac line for fuel. When you hold the gas down and it starts, the computer is in clear flood mode, cutting off fuel.
Also I have seen plenty of bad intake gaskets on this engine causing starting and drivability concerns
