Engine surging is when an engine starts easily and accelerates smoothly, however after a few minutes at a steady speed, it either surges in speed or misfires. Misfiring happens when one of the cylinders of an engine’s combustion cycle fails.
What causes vehicle surging?
If an engine is not getting enough fuel (this is called “running lean”), due to fuel pressure (regulated by the fuel pump and regulator), restricted fuel injectors, a vacuum leak or really anything that throws off the fuel mixture going in to the engine, this can cause the surge.
How do you fix an idle surge?
Start the engine, then increase and hold the idle speed to 1,000 to 1,500 rpm. Turn the engine off to allow the cleaner to soak into the IAC passageway. Restart the engine, rev and hold at 1,000 to 1,500 rpm, and repeat the cleaning process again.
