Chose custom data list on your scanner and only watch lock up and brake switch status. Had a bad brake switch cause this a few times. Watch tps too. IDK what kind of scan tool you have, but on my Snap-on if you chose only one or two items it displays faster.

does it do it if you drive it in 3rd not over drive?
never argue with a fool, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience

This is typical of the speed the computer commands O/D. Watch for commanded gear and actual gear. If it is the trans the actual gear will be different from commanded (I doubt this as you should have a code). I think you have a engine related or controller problem.
