Cruise control Vacuum

[larry bud]

I'm hoping I finally tracked down a vacuum leak that I've had FOREVER....

There are 2 vacuum lines going into the cruise control module. If I pull a vacuum on one of them, blocking the other, the module should hold a vacuum, correct?

If I block both holes and push in and out on the module, I shouldn't be hearing any air coming through, right?

If yes to both of these, I found the leak!

In addition, for a test, I disconnected the two hoses that go to the cruise control module and connected them to each other (one happens to fit nicely into the other). Once I readjusted my idle, the thing idled like a rock.

vacuum leak

Sounds like the diaphragm in the controller is broken.

Wrong. To test the cruise servo, you must remove it's plastic back cover where the electical connector goes. The way you are testing it will always give you a false bad test. Remove the small torx screws, then the back cover. Now you will find a "button" looking thing. With one hand press in the cruise diaphram and hold it there. Now with the other hand press and hold this "button" and release the diaphram. The cruise diaphram should hold sucked in and very slowly release if the servo is good while you finger is pressing the "button". When you release, the cruise servo should also immediately release.

Is you cruise control working?

Here's how the cruise vaccum is routed.
