My S-10 factory cruise control has stopped operating at about 120,000 miles.  I had just stopped at an intersection after a long drive down highway 395 from Bishop and the engine stalled.  It took some time, 5-10 minutes, to get the engine to restart;  I hobbled across the intersection and it stalled again.  After putting more gasoline in the tank, (I wasn't anywhere near empty, by the way)  I got the engine restarted and was able to limp home, the engine not delivering any power, actually decreasing in speed if I stepped too hard on the throttle.  I noticed that I could not engage the cruise control even though I had been using it the last 250 miles.  I could not think of any reason for the cruise to quit as a result of the fuel starvation problem.  This fuel starvation problem gradually went away- by the time I got home (another hour), the engine seemed to be running ok.

Several months before, I had the fuel pump and filter replaced after experiencing a similar problem: engine stalled and wouldn't restart, so there may be a tie-in.  At the time I wasn't having any trouble with the cruise control.

I'm new to the forum; I checked the seven pages of topics before coming to the forum with these questions.  Is there a common problem, easily diagnosed, that I can repair myself?  Is there a diagram available on the web that I can download to use in trouble shooting the problem?  I appreciate the help anyone can provide.  Thank you very much.  Arlo

I'm not sure how the cruise control is set up on your vehicle, but I'd check for vacuum leaks.

My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.
