I'm guessing that by "surging" you mean the engine is revving suddenly for a very brief time. Is it surging at idle when you start it hot? When you're slowing down or stopped? Does it make a difference if you turn the engine off then start it back up?

The more information you can give us the better we can help you. Also it would help to tell us how many miles are on the engine.

I would guess a bad IAC valve but I can't be certain. Here's a link to more information on it. Ford Fuel Injection Idle Air Bypass (IAB)

You should probably pull the diagnostic codes. Here is a link that shows you how. Ford Fuel Injection How To Run a Self-Test
