Sounds like you have a Gremlin in the engine compartment, throw some water in there I hear they dont like that. But seriously I think your idle is set too high and the car wants to go a little too hard, ease it back to around 900 rpm ( for a 6 or 4 cyl ) and see if it is not better. Then of course there might be a malfunction in your cruise control module I cant tell from your description but remove the fuse to be sure.
