Cruise Control Finicky?

[Big Body LX]

Okay.. question about my cruise control. Sometimes when I hit it it won't work at all.... and other it works fine. thought it had to do with RPMs so I've tried it at 1k, 1.5k, 2k, and 2.5k and it didn't make a difference. This is so weird. Maybe I'm doing something wrong:
I push the cruise control button then push set on my steering wheel. Like I said it sometimes works and sometimes it doesn't.

Then I thought it has to be the switch.... but if I hit the cruise control button and then VERY quickly hit the set button the "cruise" light on my dash flashes at me..... so the switch is good.

My cruise control never worked on my 5th gen Accord after I disconnected it and hooked it back up so it would be nice to get my S13's to work....

So I'm to believe that out of a whole board of nothing but Nissan owners..... no one else has had this problem or might know the cause of it?

i know in certain speed you can't set cruise.... &nbsp;it's happened to me, but when i'm on the freeway, it works fine for me. &nbsp;but i think it's like around 25mph you can't set cruise and over 100mph you can't set cruise, i think! not sure.... &nbsp;but i know the speed has something to do w/ it

next time you get a chance to use the cruise, pull up on the clutch pedal with your foot and then try to set it. my clutch pedal height adjustment was out, and the cruise was testy too. the cruise control saftey switch is the stopper for the clutch pedal.

I have the -exact- same problem. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I usually find that if I click the "cruise off" button, then the "cruise on" button then hit set, it usually works. Otherwise, if it doesn't, I wait about 10 minutes and try again. Eventually it does work.

I'll have to check my clutch pedal.

Yeah.. same thing with me... sometimes I'll try it and it won't work, then 10 minutes later it does <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>
