    My high idle took a dump on me today....I can bump up the idle to 800 rpms with the Cruise select and the Cruise-control in the off position...But with the Cruise on the cruise select does nothing....

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Just a thought, lift your clutch pedal. Sometimes they stick 1/2 inch down but that usually knocks the cruise completly out, not partial.

    Press the clutch and/or brake pedal to reset the cruise. That might work.

    Just tried it....No go....

    Thanks though.....

    I'm just concerned about the oil pressure...Is 5 psi going to make a difference?

    Yes. Engine protect is probably on. Check the oil.
