Default Cruise control

Hey im just wondering how many of your guys cruise controls work on your foxes? On my old one i could never get it to work, on my new one i was messing around with it today and it wouldnt work, so i kept pressing buttons and finally, it kicked in, but it would give er gas till it go to a spee, then coast, then give er gas again back up to speed, and repeat itself. Is it broken or am i doing it wrong?

mine works... except for when I change my spark plugs and forget to clip it back onto the throttle body arm.... lol

I was cruising up to NH and im banging away on the button "why the hell wont it work.... wtf!". Then I realized... oh, I left it disconnected... Pulled over, clipped it back on, and i was back on my way
