The other simple check is to make sure the cable from the cc unit is still connected to the throttle linkage. If you've done any work in that area it can get dislodged.

Could also be a vacuum pipe adrift or leaking.
Does the Cruise control light on the dash work ?
IE: does it light up when you switch on the cruise control on the steering wheel ?

hi there
guys, you need to remember the age of your car, not just the mileage.
80,000/11 years old car (min) = 7272 miles a year.
that's a fair bit of stop/start driving, putting wear on all parts.
