I would take a close look at the iacv. easy to take off, clean up, put 12v across the electrical connector and listen to it activating the valve. there is a test in place that works pretty good. while the engine is warming up just disconnect the electrical connection to the iacv and the idle should ...

thanks for taking the time for the feed back. As far as alternator voltages go I will retest but the alternator/regulator are working and responding to a load - hence the engine loading. I did allot of probing voltages and cleaning contacts and I had the alternator rebuilt and bench load tested - be...
