#1 of 5 Cruise control speed increase in left turn-97 La Sabre by art27 Nov 20, 2008 (11:46 am)
When on highway w/cruise control "on" and operating normally, steering gently to the left causes vehicle speed to increase slightly. the quicker the turn, the faster the speed increase until approx. 10 to 14 mph higher than speed setting the cruise control "kicks off".    Steering straight or to the right is normal operation.     Items replaced: cruise control (3x); PCM (1x); speed sensor (1x); instrument panel (1x)
#2 of 5 740iL Tops Out At 125 by wahorton Mar 26, 2009 (10:25 am)
Specs say the top speed of a 740iL is 125. What options are available that would allow me to achieve 155 - 160. Talks of "Turbo Charger" indicated major piston work-not! Wouldn't dream of adding Nitrous. So, next step, talk to the SMEs (Subject Matter Experts) on the subject. Replies to this message: stephen987 (Mar 26, 2009 4:11 pm) wahorton (Mar 26, 2009 7:54 pm)
#3 of 5 740IL Cruise Control Is Cursed by wahorton Mar 26, 2009 (10:29 am)
My cruise control has a mind of it's own and that very dangerous. Sometimes when I try to activate it the speed increases by 10 mph for about 5 sec then the system disables, and will not activate again until the car is restarted. Other times the system will not activate at all, any suggestions?
