This morning on my daily drive to my new job here in town (my first time
actually driving to work in about 6 years), I noticed that my cruise control
was acting strangely.  I was cruising at about 65 (in the slow lane of
course) and pushed in the cruise button.  I held it there for a second while
holding the speed at an even 65, then let go of the button and then the
throttle.  Normally, this results in the Syncro maintaining speed; this time
it slowly crept down to about 60 and then felt like it was continuing to
lose steam slowly.  I tried it again with the same results.  Then I checked
and made sure the cruise was engaged - yep.  Then I tried the same thing
with the cruise turned off.  This time there was the usual rapid loss of
speed that is normal to cars *without* cruise control...

So, it seems that the cruise control is doing *something* but not enough to
maintain speed.  Any ideas?  Should I be checking for leaks in a vacuum
diaphragm somewhere?  (I know that's how a lot of other cruise control units
work).  Any suggestions as to where to look would be appreciated...
