it would be in a fuse box. idk which one it is if it the one under the hood or the one in the car, but the manual should have a diagram of whats what and what goes where.

ya it could since our cars are a MAF car so any unmetered air make our cars freak out.

My cruise control quick working on me for a while. I had hole in one of the lines. I replaced them and used zipties, it works great now. My vacuum line has popped off a couple times and made my idle weird.

So, was the vacuum line your problem? If so, I am glad to have helped.

You didn't put LED taillights in by chance? I tried them a few years ago and they caused my brake lights to stay on all the time which inhibited the cruise. Anybody have a fix for that, btw?

I wired in LED tails in my car and don't have any problems. Did not get dual brightness LED's? I know if you use running light LEDs like for trailers they'll stay on all the time because they don't have another level of brightness, making them appear stuck on.
