91' 940 Extreme RPM surge up and down when using cruise control and then engine failure... 900 1991

I have read through the 700/900 FAQ's and don't know if my problem is covered there or not but here goes

When I am driving (usually on highway with cruise on), I can sense something is about to happen. The engine lags a little and then the tach jumps from cruising at 2600 to 4000 and then jumps all around. If I rev the engine it may normalize but usually the engine stalls. And I can restart immediately

WHere do I start to diagnose? Throttle body was cleaned recently. Faulty relay perhaps?
