Are you using an ICP mod ?

Look at the ICP sensor ,see if its leaking oil

If an auto trans , does it do it in neutral ?

The romps are from the PCM being confused about something ...

Can you post a video with sound of it doing it? It sounds eerily similar to what my truck likes to do.

I DONT HAVE ANY WAY OF DOING THAT. IT JUST DOES IT WHEN IT GETS WARM, IT SOUNDS LIKE IT HAS A BIG CAM IN IT OR SOMETHING.

I'm probably wrong but didn't I read on here that's a IPR issue? Maybe its the other way around?

Like Action4478 said - PCM is 'confused'; most likely due to bad input data. Could be ICP sensor, IPR, even EOT sensor. A scantool would likely help in finding the 'bad guy'.

If no scan tool available, try running the engine with the ICP unplugged.
