High Idle circuit PT's/FC's
Hi Ralph,
The cruise control on our FC works as you have stated. It is steady and pretty accurate at highway speeds. All the controlls operate as designed. But in the neutral idle mode, it is intermittent, It sometimes operates properly, other times it will not control the idle speed and sometimes the high idle will bump the trottle to full open. Do you have an idea of what could be causing this? Is it possible that there is a lazy relay or solenoid?? What is the minimum air pressure required?? Could it be low voltage or a bad ground? I have pulled the cover off and all the parts look like new and quite complicated. I decided that I would live with the minor inconvience.
