cruise control won't work above 90?
I left late for work this morning, and i had go really really fast(the speedometer was in the triple digits) to get there on time. Before you guys some down on me, understand the highway i was on was basically empty, and there's like 10-20 mile stretchs of flat road and no exits, so THERE WAS NO ONE TO WORRY ABOUT BUT MYSELF. Now my question: Is it just my car, or does anyone else's cruise control stop working past 90mph? If you know, then give me a response, if not DON'T try and find out the answer.

Yah, Mine does this also.
If I accelerate with the Cruise control buttons, it lets me go a couple miles per hour faster, like 91-92.
I bet it's related to the fact that you can fall asleep with the car doing it's own thing and wreck at 90 mph.

Another thing to notice is if you have a 5speed, and you engage the clutch while cruisecontrol is on it will just rev to redline - BAD news...bad design.

When I have my cruise on it seems like it acclerates and jumps back down and continues to do this like every 10 seconds or so. I watch the speedo and the rpms and they are fine, but I sware it feels like the acclerator is pressed just a tad bit more and you can feel the torque, then it goes back to normal. Anyone have this problem before?

haha i remember when my friend was teaching me how to drive stick on his brand new rsx type S... i had no problem till he let another friend of ours try. The fool tried to shift w/o pushing the clutch in and was like "hey it's stuck" while the car was making grinding noises. Damn it was funny

Hey check to see if your throttle cables are tight. On the TB one is for the cruise and one is for the pedal check both. I had some slack in mine and it was causing the same thing.

I'm assuming it's an automatic....
If so, it's probably just the 'lock-up' torque converter kicking in and out. The torque converter has a 'clutch' inside that locks the unit up direct in high gear under light loads. My car cruises around 2700 rpm at 80mph. On a steep hill (common around here) the converter will 'un-lock' and the revs will jump up to around 3000 until the hill flattens out a little.
Good Luck!

Anyway, wow, i leave this thread expecting one answer and find 3 pages. I also noticed that the CC buttons don't always work. I'll hit RES, and it won't kick in. I'll wind up having to accelerate by the pedal and then hit SET again....i dunno, maybe my CC switch needs to be replaced.
I also noticed that the pedal will move itself slightly will CC is on, like it goes "limp" when you turn CC on, but i'll readjust my legs, and it'll be further down, or higher up.

You can shift just fine without using the clutch. It just takes a little practice.

Re; the original post: Mine won't set above 90 too. That used to annoy me when I would drive Boston -> Rochester on the thruway. My CC also disengages when I touch the clutch.

Maybe this is a benefit of a conversion.....?
