Check out the page PLC7.3 posted. I used it to diagnose my cruise and it was easy. I had a steering column ground issue(caused by previous owner ), two wires pulled out at the servo, and the amplifier was toast. Would have never figured it all out without that page.

My vacuum at the servo with a new vacuum pump is 25psi.
