'84 UrQ Cruise Control Woes - FIXED (mostly)

[superba <superba@pacbell.net>]

Hi BD,

Check the vacuum bellows with the throttle rod to the throttle body and the
vacuum hoses themselves.  Check the bellows by opening throttle (engine not
operating) and clamping the hose running to it;  should remain open without
creeping.

HTH.

Cheers!
