When it starts running bad, can you describe what it does? Also, has the check engine light come on? Last, have you checked things like fuel pump pressure, the catalytic converter to see if it is plugging, check for vacuum leaks...?

Is the surging only at an idle?

My first guess is either you have a vacuum leak or the idle air control valve (IAC) is going bad. The IAC is responsible for maintaining a smooth idle speed.
