2000 was a transition year, what is the 8th digit of the VIN and engine size? The CPI (VIN R) 350s had huge issues with injectors and fuel regulators. If this is anew body style ( 5.3L0 then check the fuel pressure regultaor on the fuel rail to see if it is bad( fuel in vacuum line), that can cause random misses and long cranking
