I have heard that a lot of sensors are bad right out of the box. I checked the TPS with a multimeter and it seems to be working correctly. It runs rough at idle cold. If I give it just a little gas for a minute or two until it warms up it still idles rough but it wont stall. The coolant temp sensor is like $10 so I think I will just buy one like you suggested.

As far as the fuel pressure regulator, that's the little orange diaphragm with the metal circle inside the TB correct? I think I replaced it when I rebuilt the TB but that was almost a year ago so its highly possible its faulty.
