Check the fuel pressure cold. Sounds like a weak fuel pump.

Having trouble removing fuel filter on 2002 Kia sportage we have already changed IAC and did not solve our problem hard to start on cold start

None of this have anything to do with cold start . If plugged fuel filter it would be a problem hot or cold , IAC problem would cause an erratic idle . You need to have your vehicle hooked up to a scan tool that reads sensor data ! A engine coolant temp sensor could be a problem , mass air flow sensor , Solving Cold Start Problems 1999 GMC Jimmy EricTheCarGuy Doesn't matter this is a chevy an you have a kia , internal combustion engine all run on same principle, so rather then just replacing parts take it an have it diagnosed .

Sounds like you need to replace your throttle body. Maybe just the seal on the base. Really no way to check other then replace, But if you do replace make sure they change the gaskets along with it. Good luck to you, You may get a good one from a salvage yard to test it out,

2003 5.3L 4x4 GMC Sierra has started being hard

Sounds like a Solenoid might be bad on the starter if it spins freely and a high rate of speed without engaging.

Also, the relay could be bad.

I am ot sure if the fuel filter and pressure regulator would cause this problem.

No code will show with a bad starter or bad relay, I don't believe.

Good luck with this one.

1996 gmc jimmy 4.3 very hard to start hot or cold

It sounds like you have a pin hole in the hose that goes to the fuel pump in the gas tank. The pump is mounted on springs and it is common for the plastic hose to get a hole rubbed in it from one of the springs. This usually cause the vehicle to be real hard to get started when it is cold.
