Subject:lopping idle

Hi All,
        Just thought I would share a quick little fix to what can cause a lopping
idle. About two years ago I installed an Equis brand cruise control that
has been working really neat. It was also really easy to install. It hooks
up to the coil like a tach. and measures coil impulses. Any ways a couple
of weeks ago the cruise control started to work intermittently and I
developed a high-low idle speed condition where it would change rpms of its
own accord. It turned out to be a leak in the vacuum line running from the
manifold to the cruise control! Easy fix to what can be a very elusive
problem.
