2000 Tahoe 5.3 cylinders 2,4 and 8 stopped firing overnight. Unplugged everything and plugged it back in, checked spark plugs now 2 and 8 are working but still no 4. Swapped coils and 4 works occasionally. Fuel pump, pressure and filter all good, no vacuum leaks. Just intermittent spark on 4 and I think 2 and 8 still drop out occasionally.

Check the ground wire starting at the stud on the front end of the passenger side cylinder head, where the main battery ground goes.

I’m addition to what @iamdub mentioned, check the condition of your PS coil harness.
