I recently noticed that my H.O Whippled car acts up with cruise control..
suppose i set the cruise speed to 60mph and i'm in 3rd gear.. if i mash the accellerator the car doesn't go anywhere!
it sounds as if it's choking, and i notice the AFR is extremely lean (13-14) while on WOT.
so needless to say, i didn't try it much.. and i made sure when i have cruise control that i'd switch it off if i need to accellerate, rather than just accellerate as normal.
today i was cruising on the highway, and i decided to speed up a little bit.
hit the ( + ) key on the steering wheel and behold.. wrench lit up on the dash, and i was in safe mode going at 100mph on the fast lane with no throttle :S
i managed to ease my way to the right side and pulled over.. a fresh pair of pants and engine restart, and she was good as new.
i'm totally willing to live without cruise control, but i'm just curious wtf is up with it.
mind ya.. my car is working perfectly alright otherwise..
