The engine replacement work is completed and I picked up the coach yesterday. Took it out for a spin and found the cruise control would operate for a very brief period of time than kick off. Removed the pin connector and reinstalled it and it appeared to operate as designed. Later in the day, it was back to the original issue of kicking off. Any ideas as to troubleshooting the problem would be greatly appreciated. Prior to the engine transplant surgery the cruise worked well without issues!

John,
It sounds like a loose wire or restricted cable.
Check the connector tach sensor connector at the distributor , also the wires leading from the speedometer sensor and brake switch.
Does the resume function work ? If not, that would indicate a power lead problem.
Make sure both the Throttle cable and Rosterra cable move freely through the full range of travel.
When in the idle position, the Rosterra shoul only have 1/8" of slack, if thee is more, try to shorten it up.
Good luck , let's us know what you find.
