My cruise control is not working. I looked at the diagram on this site and don't see this port on it. What is supposed to hook into this? TIA -Travis

Replace that rusty vacuum can. Takes 15 minutes. It definitely has rust pinhole leak on the bottom side where you cant see. I replaced everything ELSE on my cruise control system before replacing the canister because it looked great from the top side. When I removed it, the hole was so obvious. Mine didnt look half as bad as your photo. http://fierostore.com/Produ...ail.aspx?s=65753&p=2

The top port had a small foam rubber filter that capped it. Nothing more. It was just a filter.

I second the replacing of the vacuum canister and that nothing goes on those ports. Just a filter cap and I'm not sure it does anything. My issue. years ago, with my cruise, was the servo. The wire coil had become "unspun", and broken. Not sure how that could even happen, but it did. I found another one at the junkyard, and it fixed it. I believe, there are some cruise servo's off of other GM cars that are identical to the Fiero one.

Edit: Servo is the correct term, not solenoid.

+1 on replacing the vacuum can. I've used servos from different GM vehicles, they do work, just make sure the electrical connector is the same size. I tried one off a Cadillac, it was smaller but still bolted right up and worked with no issues.

Also check that your clutch and brake switches are correctly adjusted, these will prevent the cruise from working. And believe it or not, the cruise control box also does go bad, I replaced mine with a "reman" unit from the local parts store.

Also, check for vacuum leaks elsewhere. My cruise stopped working when my EGR tube broke.
