if you push the pedal down, how does it respond?

Is there a difference b/w warm and cold idle?

Did this happen suddenly, or after a 'repair'?

ELR
EDS
OVP Relay

If you still suspect the ALDA, carefully back the adjustment screw out(CCW) all the way until it stops. And check the idle again.
There is very little to no hesitation when pedal is pushed down, just revs up.
No difference in cold or warm idle.
Ive been working on it for 6 months, and work is slow because I'm in school. We replaced the O-rings the first time and everything went downhill fast. It ran before work started but 0-60 times were above 40 secs, and dv valves were leaking badly.
