Hi pattisonmark,

Thank you for the donation.

Yes, problem is more likely to be electrical control and the PCM could be the cause. Mostly it should be some sensors not working correctly and it could be due to wire harness connections.

Did any warning indicators shows when the problem was evident?

Possible causes are :
1. PCM.
2. Throttle position sensor.
3. Speed sensors, input or output.

I would suggest retrieving for trouble codes to find out if any are stored.
