Go over to www.mye28.com and join the bunch (free). You will not find
a better or more knowledgeable bunch of E28 folks anywhere.

FWIW, pushing the lever forward IS how the speed is set, so something
else is wrong with yours.

thanks, I've been looking all over for groups, found a couple. I
agree, I'm thinking it's the CC solenoid but not sure where it is,
that or the computer or....maybe the cigarette
lighter....lol.......nathan

The problem could be the CC switch on the steering column.
Push and release sets the cruise.
Push and hold is accelerate.
The switch could be getting stuck in the "pushed" position.
