700r4 surging in overdrive HELP!!

i have a 86 iroc. with a 700r4 350 TPI vette motor. at cruising speed the car surges. but if give it a little gas to go faster it stops doing that. not sure if its an engine problem or trans problem. heck it could be a bad sensor on the motor for all i know. i need help with determining the problem. is there a vacumm line or something that controls the overdrive?? its almost like the trans is slipping. also when im sitting at a light. its seems like the car wants to take off with my foot on the brake. idle is set to where it needs to be as well. thanks

I had this happen with one of my other cars and it was the idle control sensor...

surging problem sounds like it could be the converter locking and unlocking
