Re: Cruise Problem

Thanks ... duh.
Sorry for all of that but I was a bit confused. I'm
having same problems with my cruise and one day I took
it all apart checked for vacuum leaks and run
diagnosis described in Bentley all with no avail. My
next step was to hook up to comtroll unit and use
microcontroller to monitor cruise operation to find
out exactly when is it going dead.
Thank you very much guys, I just had a vocabulary
problem.
