Default Cruise control after installing yellow box

With the cruise control on in the S, I've always noticed a very subtle push/pull with the throttle, a herky jerky feeling. After I installed the yellow box this herky jerky feeling is way more pronounced. Is this normal and just a byproduct of using the yellow box?

Thanks, Mike

No it is a byproduct of your throttle cable having slack in it. Tighten the throttle cable and it should go away.

I went out to cruise around using my cruise control today. I have no issues with it and my yellow box or VAFC. I have tightened my throttle cable (long ago) and hopefully this will help alleviate you jerky motions.

Make sure you lease SOME slack in the throttle cable. The cable needs to have a few mm of play, or the throttle will not be able to close all the way.
