surging
I have a 2001 F150 4X4 super crew 4.6L. I have recently been experiencing a surge in acceleration when I let off the gas. Also at times when I am at a complete stop and go to take off the engine will rev and not go anywhere then all of the sudden it like kicks into gear and chirps the tires. Why would this be happening?

Have you checked the throttle cable...make sure it isn't hanging up, or fryed cable.
Have you check for vacuum leaks? are your brakes kinda spongy?
Also you IAC (Idle Air Control) could be malfunctioning

would this be more symptomatic of low transmission fluid? or torque converter issue ? or valve control?? or combination of previously mentioned?
