FWIW, pushing the lever forward IS how the speed is set, so something else is wrong with yours.

thanks, I've been looking all over for groups, found a couple. I agree, I'm thinking it's the CC solenoid but not sure where it is, that or the computer or....maybe the cigarette lighter....lol.......nathan

The problem could be the CC switch on the steering column. Push and release sets the cruise. Push and hold is accelerate. The switch could be getting stuck in the "pushed" position.
