The cruise control isn't operable at speeds below 30MPH, IIRC.
with the broken stop to the sheath/housing the cruise should still operate fine... just a bit roughly as BT mentioned. If the sheath were slit lengthwise it'd be another story. The cruise system is far from simple in modern cars. For future reference, things to start with are: CC throttle cable, speedo cable, speed sensor signal, vacuum leaks or improper routing, bad clutch switch, brake switch and brake fluid level.

Thanks Guys
AHHHHH! I had just filled my brake reservoir yesterday or so. Maybe that is why it did not work before.
HEY My Car just found another gear!!! I took my right front brakes apart and sprayed the caliper down with PB Blaster. My right caliper was sticking and dragging the right front wheel. The car gained a boost of power after I did this. So far they are releasing OK. Gotta Love Blaster! Thanks for the tips guys, as I learn more I will answer more posts... My car is really doing OK, I just put a new radiator cap on with a pressure valve. I think my old cap was releasing too soon allowing radiator fluid to overflow the tank. We will see.... I am losing coolant fluid somewhere..... I hope it stops now. The car is getting significantly faster, is it possible the rings are seating better and my compression is going up? Thanks, Scott

Start with your fuses then do a google search there is lots of info on the internet. Mine stopped working again but no time to fool with it right now.

OK sorta unrelated but still cruise related, my JDM import (digital dash) model has had a convertor fitted (to comply with UK SVA regulations for imports, which requires an MPH speedo) to change the Km/h readout to mph & because of that my cruise doesn't work till about 40mph as the car "thinks" it's still only doing 40Km/h (25mph)...
Just something to consider if you drive a JDM car with a speedo convertor...

Yeah, there is a low limit on speed in the ECU (mentioned previously, USDM is around 30MPH) and it's dependent on the SPD signal generated in the gauge cluster.

Intermittent Cruise
Anyone have experience or thoughts about a cruise that works occasionally? It seemed as though it was affected by adjusting the steering wheel (tilt, tele, ect.) But even that seems intermittent. I have checked the vacuum lines and I am going over 400 mph while testing. Just kidding 40mph, to be safe. I can be going down the interstate and one minute it works the next it won't.
