Use cruise servo as idle control/hand throttle?
Is it possible to override the cruise control servo for idle control/hand throttle instead of using a manual cable? I know the tan/red wire is the vacuum and the lt green/red wire is the vent control, but I don't know how these cruise controls and servos work. I don't want to mount a cable and I think it'd be pretty custom to mount a switch just like they have in big trucks for the cruise and PTO throttle control.

The servo is electric over vacuum. There are four wires from PCM: 12V positive, ground, vent & vacuum. I was assuming applying 12V to the vacuum wire with cruise on would apply vacuum & pull the throttle just like bumping the cruise up - except wiring in a separate switch. Apparently the PCM won't let me do this cuz it's not getting a signal from the VSS that the truck is moving. Wiring a dummy VSS circuit with a pot to control the throttle sounds like an idea, maybe I'll give it a try. It would probably be easier to just throw a cable in for a hand throttle, but definitely not as original. Thanks alot for your help guys. I'm still always open for more ideas though...
