Maybe check and see if the diaphragm in the unit is holding vacuum? Remove the vacuum line. With the engine off, try moving the throttle by hand to move the diaphragm in the cruise unit, then put your finger over the vacuum port and let go of the throttle and see if it holds or not.

I hope you can get it working again. But if you end up ditching it, could I have the control pod for a small sum plus shipping? Ive been wanting one for a long time for the Celebrity as a nice looking replacement for the troublesome stock cruise stick but Audiovox wont sell me one by itself. Itd match my dash perfectly.
