If the engine is surging after warming up, it means excessive air is getting past the throttle body to manifolds. Check the Fast Idle Thermal Valve ( FITV) located at bottom of throttle body. It should be fully closed when operating temperature is achieved.

Check for clogged coolant hoses of FITV.
