When I am on the highway running at about 70 mph, the van seems to lurch or stall. When I looked at the rpm gauge I noticed that the tach was revving up from 2200 to over 3000 rpm; sort of like you’re interring into passing gear and then cutting back. The van has 95,000 miles and runs quite well otherwise. ---

The first post wasn’t answered either. For the record: This poster is NOT me. ---

Now, I’ll see if I’m able to answer the question. You MAY be having a torque converter problem. Seeing as I am not a tech, I will leave that to one of our regular techs.
