Cruise shuts off when set, first will change idle speed then start slowing down. if i hold down the gas peddle the cruise will eventually shut off. It will than work for awhile when the cruise is shut off and turned back on.

Both brake pedal and clutch pedal actuation will cancel cruise. So, if either of the switches are malfunctioning cruise won't hold.
 
Not sure how it even hold the idle speed since cruise will not operate under 30 mph, as per OWNER's MANUAL.

I don't think I explained this very well. On the highway when cruise is set (getting progressively worst) all of a sudden a one or both of two things will happen, the vechicle will downshift and rpms will go up substantially (this happens on all terrans so it is not just down shifting to maintain speed). The Vechicle will then start to slow down. recently it has just been slowing down. you can when the cruise is working accelerate and then slow down to pass without it effecting the cruise. I do not know if it happens at slower speeds as our speed limits are in the 65 to 75 range on highways. as it slows down the cruise will shut off at some point and the cruise will not reset until the cruise switch is tuned off and then on agian. this is done without hitting any pedals ( as the brake shuts off all cruises except some of the old truck ones - more thortles than cruises). I am thinking that the cruise control unit is going out.

Ok, let me get this straight.
 
You are driving along on the highway at 65 mph.
 
You press the cruise control switch to activate it.
 
Then you press "SET" button to set cruise control.
 
Transmission shifts down, engine revs up, and the vehicle slows down?

I set the cruise and am cruising along for 30 minutes (of late) to 2 hours and then it happens.

Do you have to go through a turn or something right before cruise shuts off? If so, the reel inside the steering wheel that routes the wires may have a short and is basically sending a "cancel" signal to the cruise unit.
 
Just a thought.
 
Try to note what happens right before cruise disconnects.

2003 uses electric actuator, not vacuum, like older models. But, it is still a cable operated kind that moves the throttle plate. I would check the cables to see if they are loose or worn.
 
Also check the two switches at the base of brake pedal. One should be for the brake light, and the second should be for the cruise cancel. Although, they may have been combined.
 
Chasing electric ghosts is not fun, but once you can reliably repeat the symptoms, you know you found the gremlin. Just follow the wires, and cables. Get the shop manual either form Helm corp or on ebay.
 
Good luck.
