Regulator Issues

[jpavone@vanstar.com]

Yesterday, my amp meter indicated 30+ amps while reving up the engine
during a tuneup. This problem lasted a few minutes and then seemed to go
away. The regulator is nearly new but the car hasn't been run in about a
month. It seems as if something in the regulator was sticking. Is there
anything I can do to prevent this (drive the car more often?) and should I
check/adjust the regulator output?
