Yep, next step would be to replace TPS, and if that doesn't work, then your
cruise solenoid may be bad.

Thanks for the input Brian and Matt.
Well, I reset the PCM and cruse still takes off like a rocket, Speedo
smooth and matches GPS.
I'll have to study on how to ck the TPS. What else is the TPS used for?
I most likely will have to pull the shaker for that. that is a bit of a pia
but I would like to get it figured out so it is working for the trip to
Carlisle next weekend. I rarely use cruse locally.
If I find anything I'll let you folks know.

Jesus once said to his followers:
Daily you must trust Me, surrendering everything, including the blood in
your veins and the breath in your lungs, for Me to do with as I see fit. If
you want to join up with Me, you must let Me lead. Luke 9:23 (Eric Ludy
paraphrase)
