Constant load cruise mod
 

I am currently a student in an Engineering Design and Devolpment, Project Lead the Way class. As my final project, I have decided to improve cruise control by adding a mode where engine load instead of speed would be the constant. This mod woul be somehtinbg that piggybacks on the stock GM cruise. I would be testing this system on my personal car, a 1996 Pontiac Sunfire 2.2 liter 5 speed with factory cruise. I need to have a survey to prove my idea is good and going in exactly the right direction. Thank you for your responses.


PLTW GM Cruise Control Mod Survey

Member jomelmaldonado has done that mod and posted his results on this forum.

That's pretty cool. Has anyone done any work on retrofitting a homebrew cruise control into a Drive-By-Wire throttle system? Is it possible?
(my wife's 2005 Ford Crown Vic is DBW and has no cruise control... it was a Police Interceptor model)

Interesting, but that doesn't work on a factory cruise module where nothing is adjustable.

Probably possible if you are some sort of programing god.

Thought: Use a universal cruise kit to operate the throttle pedal directly.
