gcloys; Not familiar with ALDA, sorry.

Paulc66t; What automobile engine doesn't accelerate in park if you depress the accelerator? My guess is they all do, unless it's the new drive by wire technology. My guess is that his transmission is okay.

gcloys; It sounds like a power steering pump, but difficult to know exactly because a noise like that could come from a piece of paper stuck in the fan. Unlikely, but I've seen stranger things stuck in there, like a cat. With a very long screwdriver placed carefully on the suspect part and the other end to your ear, you'll hear the noise amplified and will be able to isolate the culprit part.

Hope that helps.
