i did check the cruise control fuse and it was fine. i will try to adjust the cable after work.

when i took out the MAP sensor to look at it, the bottom part of the rubber/plastic stuff was torn a bit. it might have happened when i took it out but i dont think so. i might try just replacing the sensor.

AZ guys suggested i test for vacuum leak by spraying brake cleaner and i "think" my idle slowed down when i sprayed it but i'm not 100% convinced. i'm going to try it again with my dad and see what he says. idle should either speed up or slow down if there is a vacuum leak, correct?

thanks for the responses.
