Year, make, model and engine of the vehicle? Automatic or manual transmission?

At what speed that happens? Might be TPS acting up, sounds like you loose torque converter lock and overdrive alltogether. I had that happen when I was driving down the road @55 mph, engine rpm's just jumped up and couple seconds later they came down.
