Cruise Control After executing a header install, my cruise control doesn't work worth a flip. I assume the cruise control wires are the plastic ones that fly over the intake from the drivers side to the passenger side. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that. There are 3 wires. One goes to the throttle body, and 2 continue to some canister thing just in back of the battery. The cruise control works barely. If you set it to lets say 75, It will fall to 71 or 72 before it catches and maintains speed. Then if you go up a small hill, the car will not accelerate to maintain the chosen speed.
Anybody have/had this problem, and how the hell do you fix it. Its not a big deal, but hell it saves my leadfoot *** on the highway, and headaches at work.
As always thanks for any input.

Yeah those are the wires. I dont know what would have gotten messed up from doing a header install. (Unless they got pulled / tried to move them to get to header bolts)
It could always be something stupid like a break switch. But those usually just go out and cruise doesnt work at all.

With my old car, I had the same problem. But it happened even before headers. Try moving the wires around a bit. Make sure it is connected properly on the AC line. Sometimes that fixes things.
My current F-body doesn't have cruise control
