6th Gen ('00-'05): Will not start with remote starter in cold weather

Will not start with remote starter in cold weather
OK tried this morning starting the 2003 SS with the Valet remote starter. it has worked just fine in the past but with 20 degree F temperature it would start up for about 2 seconds and then stall. Tried 4 times with same results, it started fine once I went out and started it with the key. Sounds like it's not getting enough fuel, so I'm thinking a new fuel filter may be needed. What is the best brand to get for fuel filters? AC I would guess, is it similar to oil filters where Fram are not to be used?
Also is a special tool needed to remove the fuel filter? Or is it just flare wrenches like an old school one?
Thanks
Dave

Possibly its a voltage issue..
If my 2003 GMC truck is to cold the PCM doesn't allow it to stay running after start up..
Also the last time I changed the battery I had to take it back to the shop I had it installed at to reprogram the alarm/remote start..

Thanks STUMPMI. I figured out how to reset it after I disconnected the battery so it is working well except in the freezing cold weather (which is now a daily occurrence around here). I was wondering if a dirty fuel filter would cause less fuel pressure to get through the injectors to start it or if that is not a factor at all.
