    Sounds like your not getting spark or ignition to the spark plugs, Try having the cap and rotor or coil checked by a mechanic, If any one of these parts have failed you won't have spark to the spark plugs and the plugs will remain wet with gas.

    What engine is this Suburban? I ask this because some of the GM truck motors had problems with their injectors leaking. Does your engine say Vortex on the top?

    ok I just had that problem!!! my huband changed the coils... but make sure to check each one and replace them! I had to replace all 8...ya that sucked! then once we fixed it the fuel pump went out. also before you install the coils make sure you change the spark plugs! and thats it! mine is running perfectly!!!
