This is the signal coming from the Inductive throttle sensor (ITS) through the Molex connector and wiring that was originally suspect. You should measure around 2.5 volts no pedal and increase as pedal is pressed. When the cart is not working repeat this measurement. It is hard to troubleshoot for this intermittent problem when the cart is working.
My first cart was very similar to yours. I had the same symptoms as you are having. This is why I came for help here on BGY forums 8 years ago. My problem proved to be the Molex connector was corroded and the ITS proved intermitter. That old cart was a real work horse when it was working.
Thank you for your response. The cart IS currently working. I do have 2.5 volts between pin one and two with the key on when NOT pressing the pedal. When I do press the pedal the voltage jumps immediately to 13 Volts, and appears to continue upward as I continue pressing the pedal.

I will test again when cart is not working.

Edit- corrected wording
