Curise Control Delay

[landtoy80]

There is a delay when I set the cruise. When I set it, the cruise delay is about 5mph at 80mph but it does catch up.
Is this normal?

I checked the cable and there is no slack. The linkage is pulled back to the stopper by the spring. Should it be resting on the stopper?
Where else do I check?

Could be several things. The "see-saw" valve in actuator is dirty or the spring bad, the speed sensor in the speedometer is bad or being effected by something else in the speedo or the speedo cable, lost motion in the linkage, bad vacuum pump, ect. Run the CC diagnostics. Also check for engine codes.

I have the same problem and had it on my old honda too.

I hit the set button, then the accell button until i feel the gas pedal start to rise. then I release it and it stays right there.

Mine got a little better when i tightened the cable almost as much as possible, but it still delays 3-4 mph.

i thought all vehicles did that? thats why i always set it +5mph and let it fall to where it wants to

mine gets faster over time (we're talking over hours though, as on a roadtrip)

I went through and took out a LOT of slack in all the linkages though...
