[QUOTE="rfulcher, post: 238138, member: 5085"] No joy here yet :blink: I have checked the vacuum system by using a simple T between port 3 and port 4 connected to an audiovox cannister with a built in check valve. NO change in the problem. I also redid the connection to the coil. I trashed the posi-tap and made a Y connector using spade connectors. No change is symptoms. I checked the resistor by pulling the red tape off and visually inspecting. It is covered with shrink wrap and "appears" sound. Can I test and or replace this, and if so how to test or what to replace it with? My next step is to check/verify/replace the power and ground to the control pad and maybe the power feed on the brake line. I don't have high hopes for this to help given the characteristics of the problem. On my last test run I further clarified the problem. For the first few miles it will hold 80+ mph however after just a couple of miles at 80 the speed that it can engage and hold drops. It did run at approx 65 mph for about 5 mile/5 minutes, It tends to do okay just long enough to get my hopes up. Over about 20 miles/30 minutes the speed it will hold at has dropped to less than 60 mph. Even if I give it a rest by turning it off for a few miles it does not get any better. It just shows a gradual degradation of hold speed as time and distance pass. If I press resume it will try to engage and then cut off. It tends to cut off if the road climbs slightly, however as time passes this characteristic also get worse. [/QUOTE]
