Welcome aboard
I am not the best one to try and solve your problem, but maybe I can get you pointed in the right direction.

When these cars do something odd like this the best bet is to pull the codes from the computer. This will not give you the answer but will definitely give you a direction.
There is a sticky at the top of this forum called "Surging Idle Checklist" it should help.
Also, try a search for posts from jrichker, you should be able to find a cheap way to pull the computer codes.

Post again if you still have questions, someone will help
