1996 Chevy Blazer surges when accelerating then stalls when braking

After I put gas in my vehicle, it starts surging and wants to go right to 40 mph or faster but when I stop, it bucks then wants to stall if I'm stopped too long. This also happened the last time I put gas in it and I don't remember at what point it started running fine again.

SOURCE: 1989 Ford Tempo fuel surge problem

when i had this problem i had many vacuum leaks and a bad vacuum switching valve

i put in new vacuum lines they were inexpensive and went to the junk yard for another valve you can go to the auto parts store and ask to see one first this fixed my problem

SOURCE: 1990 chevy lumina, idling problem... to rich.... stalling......

check egr valve for vacuum leak. pull hose from manifold. put hose in your mouth like a straw and **** on it. if the valve moves, then it's good. if it doesn't, you need a new egr valve. WARNING, they are fricking expensive! auto zone price $204. NO JOKE
