cruise control problems

[plumcrazy]

hello,

i have just recently purchased an 85 coupe and cant get the
cruise control to work. when i engage the switch to turn on the cruise when sittin in the driveway i can hear the servo engaging but nothing happens at cruising speed. any help on this would be greatly appreciated, also the color of the car is baffling me it is a plum color???? but i cant find this as an option for the car. every square inch of the car is this color even in the door hinge area and the under the weatherstripping in all areas of the car. was this an optional color for this year or is this just a real great
repaint of the car. either way i love the color and would change
it for anything.


thanks,
plum

Check the vacum lines there are two one supplys vac to the servo. Make sure their is vacum and no holes (cracks)
the other goes to a valve on the brake pedal. if some one replaced the brake light switch or brake booster it might need adjusted. when you press the pedal it removes the vac. and cuts of the cruse.
next posibility is if you have manual trans there is a switch on the clutch pedal.
the brains of the cruse iis in the digital dash. if it was replaced with the one with no cruse. last of all the servo may be bad! too darn mant things to check but check the vac lines and switches first

hey,

thanks for the reply, my dad and i have been racking ours
brains out it does look like there has been a new
brake booster put on so i will check the switch to see if
there is vacuum and see if the switch is out of wack.


thanks,
