On an older car like this one, cruise control relies on vacuum pressure. If there is a vacuum leak somewhere, it will cause the cruise control to be less than reliable. So go ahead and inspect your system for vacuum leaks.

Here is a how-to guide on that:

Also, I am attaching ALLData's checklist on cruise control for that car. Please let us know what you find.
