If we just knew what engine.... Carb or injection...IAC's are PITA's sometimes.. so are vacuum leaks... if a carbed engine the leak can be in the carb too... a real PITA to find out.

The surge is caused by each revolution of the blower. Sometimes it can be reduced or eliminated with carb air bleed adjustments.
