Throttle pedal is not moving, but speed is changing.
Please help me to start solving my problem, I did not find the answer by searching.
Sometimes when I drive with constant speed ( like 50-60 mph), and don't move my right feet, the car starts to accelerate and back. Like when I push the throttle pedal down a little, and back in between 1 sec. Usually it happen at 10 min. after cold starts. Later, and when the engine is warm, there is no problem.
I never have this problem when I accelerate, only at constant speed. I cleaned the MAF, and checked air leaks. Sometimes I got p0430, but not then, when the car is acting like wild horse.
Throttle?

No clue, but if since nobody answered you I will guess and suggest checking the spring under the accelerator pedal for sufficient tension, as well as the throttle-cable wire for slack/fraying or catching on something enroute to the throttle-body.
Also, if it is at highway speeds, check the full-load breather hose for air leaks (that would potentially do what you are describer as the air/fuel mix would be fluctuating when it shouldn't.)

Interesting what happens when the injectors fitfully spit instead a clean stream. Worst I ever saw was in my 88 325IS: idled roughly, surged (until North of 2000 rpm), but would clean up with Gumout or Lucas (I now think SeaFoam is best of breed).
