First thing I'd look at is the APPS sensor. There's instructions on how to reset it on here...solved my surging issue before.

mine did the same thing. if it had spark plugs, i'd describe it as a miss under acceleration. finally came to a head when i tapped the brake to d/c the cruise, then it fell on it's face when i got back on the throttle. checked the codes and it indicated apps. read somewhere to punch the throttle pedal 10-12 times hard to the floor (engine off of course) this cleared it up to get me back home, 2 hours away. it has worked fine ever since and i'm ordering a new apps soon
