Weird RPM jump

I got what i think is a problem but i dont know. Ill be driving doing like 40MPH or so and it at like 1700 RPMs maybe. Then when i let off the gas it drops below a 1000 RPMs and jumps back up to about 1500RPMs. Is this normal?

That happens to me when cruise control is on, but not when it's off.

Re: Weird RPM jump

Do you notice any gear change when you let go off the gas, if it is an Automatic transmission. If the gear change are happening slowly then I can see it dropping to 1000rpms and then up again. A similar thing used to happen to me on my old car but it was not a Civic and I could feel a gear change when it happened.
