93 Accord Cruise Control... Pulling my hair out

I just bought an Accord and it has a cruise control that is physco and I'm
lost on how to fix it.

The master switch seems to work and when I press "set" the instrument
cluster "cruise control" light sometimes (pressing the set button 15
times) comes on but even it does usually nothing happens. Once it actually
did work, and twice the car started accelerating faster and faster but 99%
of the time the car nothing happens.

I have the Honda service manual for the car and tested all the inputs
(power, set, resume, speed etc) to the cruise control computer and they
were OK so I replaced the cruise computer yet it hasn't made any
difference at all. I've tested the vacuum solenoid/actuator and it worked
(pulled in the actuator rod and held it), however, the vent and safety
solenoids did not seem to function.

I am wondering if faulty vent/safety solenoids would cause the scenario as
described above?

 

Have you checked BOTH switches on the brake pedal? One is for lights,
the other for the cruise. A short to ground (intermittent) might cause
the problems you describe.
