cruise control actuator for throttle by wire?

[John Dammeyer]

Hi,

I'm not at all sure if the cruise control actuator would be fast enough to
handle the idle speed but it's always worth a try.  The new SAABs are production
vehicles with Throttle by Wire.  What might also work quite well are Model
Airplane Servos.

Cheers,

John
