Failing fuel pressure regulator valve?

Hi folks,
On cold mornings, I start her up, it takes about 2-3 seconds. The idle blips up a bit like normal, then settles down to 1k, then dips below 1k and stalls. If I don't tap the gas pedal right after she starts, the car will stall.
Similarly, also if it's cold out (~ 45), when coming to a stop, the idle dips below 1k for 1/2 a second, then comes back. She feels like she's going to stall but doesn't.
I'm concerned because this smells like it will be even more of a problem as the weather gets colder.
Plugs are fine and fuel injectors are clean. Battery is also fine. K&N air filter has 10k miles on it and probably should be cleaned but I doubt that's it. My mechanic is saying it's the fuel pressure regulator valve. Just thought I'd run the diagnosis by this list. If so, it will be the first test of my WarrantyGold Diamond plan! ;-)
Thanks,
Newdude
