94 SL 500 ECU Issue?
Hello everyone,
Lately when I drive my car at a constant speed say 50 mph on a highway the car acts as if it has hick ups. For example yesterday I took the car out on the highway, I drove basically as if I was on cruise control at a set mph and the RPM's would go up and down. It felt as if I was on the accelerator and pressing on the brakes to slow the car down. The car performs this way from 30mph and up.
When I spoke to a mechanic about it he told me it could be my ECU. Could it be my transmission?
Has anyone experience this before?
Thanks in advance.

The car still rides on stock wheels/tires sizes.
