Hi Z, The most common trouble that I have had with the cruise is the vacuum switches that contact the pedals not being held closed enough. On mine, there was enough freeplay in the clutch pedal that if you let go of the pedal hard enough (let it rebound without your foot on it) it would move the switch in it's holder enough to not hold the plunger tight. I reach down and re-adjust the switch and the cruise works again. I should re-bush the pedal pivots and get rid of the problem, but like most problems, now that I know what is causing it, I'm not as worried about it and I can get to work for trips until I get to it. BTW, the speed pickup for a stock cruise is in the back of the speedometer and does not require external magnets.
