Lately it has developed an intermittent surge while on the cruise. It will just rev a little, and then go back to a stable cruise. Problem does not occur when cruise is off.Cable and vacuum line look good. Any ideas?

If I just hold a steady speed with my right foot there is no problem. Only on the cruise. Speedo needle not jumping when it happens.

My wifes 15 passenger van does the same thing with a 5.9 and 44RE, surges a bit with the cruise on but absolutley will not do it when my foot is in charge. I graphed the TPS signal, RPM, MPH, lock up... on my scanner and no blips or anything showing up there have not had time to dig any deeper I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!
