The evaporative emissions control system pulls a vacuum on the tank so the fuel vapors do not get out of the gas cap and pollute. It stores them in a charcoal canistor where it waits until the vehicle is under load cruising, at operating temperature, and monitoring all sensors. It then opens a valve to release those vapors into the engine through the port underneath the front of the intake manifold behind the throttle body.Looking at the vid ,,, This maybe something to checkout ... Mine had about the same amount of surge only when cold ....

so jeff , what should i try or replace the iac ?????
so now what????
When was the last time you changed the plugs? take a shaft and listen to each injector and make sure they are all clicking normal. not missing. I am not sure if the engine temp sending unit has something to do with the cold start but it is cold start related. check the connection at the engine temp sending unit. even when the surging stopped it still seemed to idle rough. make sure all plugwires are connected good. when it is surging stop the engine and pull the plugs. see if yu have any wet ones. keep looking!!! don't let it win!
yes to do coils and wires but it was doing the surge before that. if it were bad o2's i would get a cel. i'm getting ready to punt!!!!!! going to have to bring it and get it scanned , all i'm doing is going nuts.
I thought you described normal operation this morning. Has it surged today?
yeh normal, when i pulled the iac hose off the intake tube, started it and it idled 1000 rpm then setteled to 750 rpm after a bout 10 to 15 seconds , then connected the back to the intake tube and idled normal, i don't think it fixed itself , will have to try when it is cold a gain , all i did was try something different, it seems to me it needs more air, the k&n seems to be very restrictive on giving i iac air. i will try opening up the tb a little more, and see. thx for all your input guys, on trying to figure this out.
