Default Acceleration problem 1989 corvette

Ok my car stalls at low speed it's irregular ect

when I accelerate by hand under the hood the rpm are just fine the engine is good. when i do from inside the car the rmp they don't go up like something keep them down.

the old owner replaced the battery and let the cruise control loose, so I tried to disconnected the connector and the car now accelerate better from the inside but when driving still stalls irregular

Should I remove the whole cruse control or buy another one and reinstall, I know it sound a little weird but I am trying to resolve the problem the cheapest way before wasting money replacing parts.

Wow, don't ya just hate it when incompetant people work on your car...

I would first fix the cruise control linkage and see where that leads.

Since the idiot messed around in the area I'd also check the throttle linkage.
