I've removed the entire speed limiter motor, cable and unplugged it by the intake. No problems with poor running.

Yes
I think that the motor is not problem but the problem is that I do not have and the modul that stays in ECU box that give signal to the cruise control motor

I don't see why that would cause poor running. A more likely suspect would be the balance of the six throttle bodies, given the symptoms you describe.

On the 3.8; unplug the cable
On the 3.6; replace the ECU chip (not reccomended!)

On the throttle..

If you look in the travel-report by Raymond Woertman, from the '02 Alps meeting, there is a closeup picture of the cables position.
