Did the problem start without having recently mad any changes to the accelerator position? If it happened after releasing the pedal (after accelerating), maybe the kickdown cable got caught on the throttle mount bolt. This happened to me.

With the engine off, rotate the throttle pulley, then hold the kickdown cable so it doesn't retract, and release the throttle. You'll see the kickdown cable loop near the throttle housing bolt. I put on a piece of duct tape to prevent the cable from extending around the bolt end.

If the problem definitely started while holding steady on the accelerator though, this would not likely explain your problem.
