Subject: [s-cars] Cruise control?

[Joel Rector]

Would these vaccuum switches be a reason for the cruise working but but
imporperly?  By that I mean mine will set the first time, but if I break
cruise with the brake and set it again, it sets and slowly accelerates.
If I brake and set it again and again, it accelerates faster each time I
reset.  If I set it and then brake and then hit resume, it goes full
throttle.  If I get it set and then hit the button to go a little bit
faster, it will go full throttle.  It's almost like a vaccum issue in
that it seems to build up after setting, braking, setting, breaking.

I took it to the stealer and they want to charge me $700 to fix it by
way of replacing the main control unit for the cruise.  If anyone has
any other ideas on how to fix it, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Any input?
