Cruise Control
Just thought I'd share this about the cruise control unit on my 4runner in case someone is googling for help in the future.
My cruise was not working. I know it operates off of a vacuum line, so I took a look at the line. It was connected to the purge port of the charcoal canister. Not going to work that way. I traced where it supposed to hook up and found that someone had taken the line from the three-way vacuum connector on the passanger side of the intake and plugged it into the two port valve on the back of the intake where the charcoal canister is supposed to vent. Swapped out the lines and it works fine.

Can I ask, jacked_72--was the cruise light on the dash coming on when you hit the on button on the steering wheel (assuming your controls are steering wheel-mounted) before you got it working?
I can't get my cruise light to come on. I'm assuming that something didn't get hooked back up. I've checked the ground wires as described in this post.
There's the possibility that the button in the steering wheel died, but that seems unlikely.
So that's what I'm wondering: if you hit the round button on the steering wheel to turn cruise on and the light doesn't come on, could it be because the cruise control failed some kind of self test (meaning perhaps the vacuum hoses are not connected properly)? Or is it only because it's not getting power?

No, the light was not coming on when it wasn't working. I'd suspect something to do with the vacuum line. I'd be thinking they plugged the wrong line to the cruise control actuator unit when they put the motor back in.

Any chance you could take a picture for me of your motor with all vacuum lines routed correctly?
