While cruising in the highway, i notice that the RPM's will jump from around 1500 to 2000 or better. i can feel and hear the change in the engine. Is the transmision slipping or could it be something else?

Thanks

Mine was doing the same thing a couple of months ago and it was the throttle control sensor that was causing it. Once I changed it out the problem went away.
