Default Sumthin' aint right...

Hey, I've had my Brenspeed 93 tune and a JLT II cold air intakeinstalled for a few months now and haven't had any problems until recently. I go to school in the Chicago area and live in Southern Illinois. Whenever I am driving home I usually set the car on cruise controle unless I'm in heavy traffic. However, whenever I take the cruise control off and try to really get on it my engine just starts to rev. over and over again. This also happens if I get off at an exit to get gas...for instance I got off for gas and was sitting at a stoplight...I BARLEY touched the gas and my car reved extremley high and the front end lifted up...wouldnt really have a problem with this except after it revs up it's like the engine just shuts down and then revs againhaha...the guy next to me thought I was trying to race and I looked like a jackass...any suggestions on what I should do? Is it just the cruise controle messin around with the tune for some reason or what?

possible issues:

throttle body (may need cleaning)
fuel pump (check out the TSB)

You didn't attempt that throttle lag fix on the gas pedal box did you? I was wondering whether that was a good idea or not......

Your throttle body/TPS sensormay be going bad... I have a rough idle problem, and sometimes I get RPM surges, and I've done everything to cure it except buy a new throttle body/TPS sensor (its all one piece).

I believe mine is bad too.
