Replaced one of the coils @ 102000 miles then a wk ago ck engine light came on and it seemed to be idoling rough and then 2 days later it went off and car seemed to run fine. Now it's back on again and every time i start the car it surges hard, it doesn't matter if the engine is cold or warm and it's only at start up. I let the engine idol until it surges before i take it out of park because if i dont it will surge forward/backward and i have to step on break. Other than that it is running fine. I have not had the major service done(belt water pump etc.) as I was planning on selling it. What do you think is happening? By the way it is S60 2.5T Turbo. Thank You !!

If the engine idle is up and down, chances are the idle air control valve is bad or you have a vacuum leak. IF the check engine light is or was on, have the computer scanned to identify why the light was on. That should direct you in the right direction.
