I am Bronco-sitting my daughters 88 vehicle for a while. I have been doing a few little thing on it for her, new shocks, tune-up routine maintenance etc.
Driving it I have noticed that when you use the cruise control it seems to surge instead of cruise. By this I mean that it seems to operate the way my wife drives. On the gas, off the gas, on the gas, off the gas, over, and over, and over forever. On level road, it's like a two/three seconds of hard acceleration then coast for a few seconds then back on the gas 'hard'. Is there any adjustment or anything that can be done to smooth this out.
I think this is why my daughter says that it doesn't get good gas mileage when she uses cruise control, going back and forth to college. Of course we know that a good driver can do better than cruise control on gas mileage, but the way this cruise control does is very irritating.
