Merv,

If this problem just started up... than I would check all your vacuum lines,
check the ends for cracks under the fabric coating the line. A very common
problem, and can lead to other performance issues.  If you have always had a
problem, some people find it helpful to install a vacuum holding tank, like
this one.

Very cheap, and works wonders!

Good luck!

My cruise had not been working for a while now. When I set the cruise I feel
it kick in through the accelerator but then it fades out pretty quickly. Do
you think this could be vacuum related. Thanks Merv.
