No , the PCM/ ECM just turns the fuel injectors on a little longer till warm up.
The powertrain control module (PCM) reads voltages from several sensors in order to determine how much fuel to give the engine. The fuel is delivered during one of several conditions called modes. The PCM controls all modes.
?€¢
The Starting Mode--With the ignition switch in the ON position, before engaging the starter, the PCM energizes the fuel pump relay for 2 seconds allowing the fuel pump to build up pressure. The PCM first tests speed density, then switches to the mass air flow (MAF) sensor. The PCM also uses the engine coolant temperature (ECT), the throttle position (TP), and the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensors to determine the proper air/fuel ratio for starting. The PCM controls the amount of fuel delivered in the starting mode by changing the pulse width of the injectors. This is done by pulsing the injectors for very short times.

My 1999 Chevy Tahoe wont start unless i spray starting fluid into the air intake but once it starts it runs fine, The fuel filter is brand new in it too, if it is the fuel pump how much will it cost me?

It is not a fuel pump problem.
It a cold start valve problem. It didn't open. There are 2 things to check.
1- The cooling thermal sensor is not sending the proper signal to the ECU to turn on the cold start valve.
2- The bad solenoid inside the cold start valve causing it not operational.
Case 1 you can easily replace the thermal sensor.
Case 2 checking this requires professional skill to confirm if there is a signal at the valve during the start.
Good luck

My son let his 2001 Chev Tahoe run out of gas. He put in about 2 gal gas , it would not start. I put in 5 more gal , still no start and the fuel guage does not move at all when key is turned on. thanks

There is a fuel shut off switch that needs to be reset (sorry don't know where it's located on that vehicle, you'll have to call the dealer).
