Your welcome.

The only test for the pressure regulator itself is to check the resistance 
across the two terminals.  You should replace the regulator if there infinite 
resistance(open) or if the resistance is greatly more or less than 20 
ohms(per Bentley).

 If the aux. air valve is bad you would get either a high idle all the time 
or a bad(low) idle all the time.  Now if the valve was bad to start with and 
you've adjusted the idle, you have masked the problem and may not know you 
have a bad valve.  The best way to know if the valve is working is to test it.

I wouldn't try cleaning the regulator while it is installed.  If any small 
amount of crap gets into the fuel system (fuel distributor/injectors), you 
may be looking for those new parts real soon.  If you do try cleaning it, 
make sure you flush it our well.
