It happens when you idle? Does it only do it on the freeway?

right. but the problem would be you're not at idle on the freeway. so that'* out. once you get on the gas, it goes away? do you get any strange feelings from it? does it hang up when you hit the gas? does the torque convertor unlock?

does the torque convertor lock up to begin with?

Default wires

This has done this to me and is doing it once again. I got the wires changed and that was the only problem, but now it'* doing it again and I'm not sure why. I work at the GM dealership here so I'll have it checked out once I get a chance and tell you what I discover.

I had the same thing happen to me in my old 88 lesabre. it ended up being a bad knock sensor.
