Cruise Control is weird.

Every time I use Cruise control it has hic-ups. It has surges and drops in power. Doesn't do this with it off. Does anyone else have this kind of problem with theirs? It isn't constant only here and there. Maybe once every minute. It does seem to go away after driving for a while.

Re: Cruise Control is weird.

Auto or manual?
Those have an e throttle right?
Most likely a problem with that.
No check engine light? Or any other lights?
Tires all the same and at the correct pressure?

Don't know what you mean E throttle. All tires are brand new and Alignment was done when I bought them. Automatic.

Re: Cruise Control is weird.

Instead of a throttle cable there's a motor that controls the throttle. It also controls the cruise control

OK, I guess I just won't use the Cruise. Drives fine when I don't.

OK so if the E throttle goes out where would someone find one as there is no listing for any such thing? No E-throttle is listed anywhere on the internet.

Re: Cruise Control is weird.

just look for throttle body. It's just that it does not have a cable between the throttle body and the pedal.

don't just go buying parts, have it diagnosed!!!

I do know what a throttle body is but OP said E-Throttle and I can't find anything called that. So let me get this straight. When I push down on the throttle/Gas peddle it sends a signal to the throttle body and moves it electronically. Or is it somehow connected to the Throttle body?

Thanks, so in my case somehow that signal isn't being sent correctly or the Computer is acting up I would guess. The car runs pretty well except for the Cruise control and only for the first 15-20 minutes. After that, it runs well.
