Driving a steady speed at 61 mph or higher I get a slight hestation. Hard to explain because it is not a typical miss. when I accelerate it goes away. Only when I am holding a steady speed. Any advice?

Changed plugs, cap, rotor, plug wires wires two weeks ago. To further explain the problem, the issue can also be duplicated with the car in nuetral or park and revving to approx. 1500 rpm.

Ignition control module. In the cap under the rotor. That cured my hesitation.
Mine costed me $12

you might also hook a voltmeter to the throttle position sensor. They can sometimes have dead spots that are intemittent, causing erratic timing advance. As you slowly increase throttle position check for a sharp jump in volage. I have had a couple of these happen to me.
