The green cruise light came on and the speed started dropping as if nothing was on. I kept my foot to see if the pedal will go down when the car down shifted. It did down shift but that was not triggered from the TB or cruise cable pulling, it was an electronic shift I guess.

So now I am thinking that it's either the vacuum pump or the actuator. I pulled the actuator off the car but am not sure how to test. I don't have the FSM where I am at right now so no idea if it says something there.

How do I take the vacuum pump off? I can't seem to figure that out
The pump is easy, just 1 10mm head bolt on the strut tower, 2 10mm head nuts in the wheel well. Which reminds me, I need to put those nuts back in...without them, every time you activate the cruise control, the pump rattles like a bastard for a second.

For the actuator, just apply vacuum to it and see if it draws in the throttle cable.
