esp.;"...The speed control system obtains vehicle speed information from the vehicle speed sensor. In most cars and trucks the sensor is mounted on the transmission or in-line with the speedometer cable. The sensor is driven from gearing in the transmission. On 1986-90 Lincoln Town Car, Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis and Mark VII vehicles the speed signal comes from a speed sensor located in the Electronic Instrument Cluster. If the speedometer system is erratic or inoperative, it must be serviced before the speed control system is evaluated.
and; For the speed control to function properly, it is necessary that the speedometer cables, if so equipped, be properly routed and securely attached. All vacuum hoses must be securely attached and routed with no sharp bends or kinks. The servo (throttle actuator) and throttle linkage should operate freely and smoothly..."
