the cruise started acting up, it fluctuates way to frequently, with your foot resting on the pedal you can feel it fully release when it cycles, about every two seconds, would this be a vaccum leak or could it be something else

I believe that the speedometer cable could be binding up. disconnect it from the speeometer and pull it out of the housing. you may have to disconnect it from the cruise contol module under the hood. check the cable to see if it is binding up or has rust on it. use light sandpaper and clean any high spots, put lube on the cable and reinstal. also do the same from the cruise control to the transmission. when the cable starts binding up it makes the speedometer jump and become erratic.check the vacuum lines to make sure they are not split or leaking.
