Just a guess but, cruise control maybe

just looked in my Haynes manual, and the cruise control servo is on the passenger side and is round

got a pic?

btw, is it a V6 or 4-cyl?

[98pacific_frontier]

its a 4cyl,maybe its cruise control ill double check i remember having the buttons on my steering wheel.

[98pacific_frontier]

its the ASCD (automatic speed control device) actuator/pump,i just notice most people scrap this.

How does that work?

How does that work?

how does what work?

the cruise control is a mechanical servo type. a computer controlled motor pulls the throttle cable maintaining speed.

if you want to scrap the cruise control, its really easy. the throttle cable from the pedal connects to the cruise control actuator under the hood. the actuator has a second cable that runs to the throttle body. all you have to do is completely remove the second cable, then connect the primary cable to the throttle body.
