SOURCE: ROUGH IDLE / ENGINE SURGE

Check for vacum leaks on hose going from the intake to the brake booster. Also check the dodge.com website. Click on the for users button. Enter in last eight digits of vin and see if pcm (computer) needs a update, or if there is any other open recalls on the van.

SOURCE: Car idles erratically-surges and revs up and down

1.Verify that the cooling system is full of coolant and there is no air in it. 2. Remove the air boot from the throttle body and cover the throttle body with something that will stop the airflow . the Fast Idle Valve is the problem.

Check for a vacuum leak in the vacuum assist diaphragm. A leak can allow far too much air into the intake manifold, causing an increase in engine speed.

Sudden power surge -happens in stop and start traffic. Foot on brake when power surge happens-I had to slam on brakes to prevent read end collosion. Three events in last two weeks.

Just my opinion, I wouldn't drive till you get it looked at, that sounds dangerous.
How long since a tune-up?
Any applicable trouble codes?
Sounds like something is telling the computer to up the idle, at the moment, I don't know why? Are you running the ac when this happens?
Check and clean throttle-body and anything that has to do with idle air system. Also, check the maf sensor, where applicable.

What caused my Lincoln ls to surge while foot was on the brake?

My 1st guess or 1st instinct would be to say it's a computer software issue, becasue I can't think of anything mechanical that could cause this type of issue. I suggest instead of asking here, you contact your car dealer or manufacturer.

Idles roughly, then low when stopped or in park, then dies. Decreasing gas mileage. Slow to accelerate

Sometimes that's caused by a vacuum leak near the manifold area.

Sometimes air in the coolant will cause an idle problem. Air will keep the air temp sensor from sending proper info.
Hope this helps.

Engine revs high in park & neutral

you could have a vacum leak some where in the system that can cause high rpm,also if you have a bad tps(throttle position sensor) it can cause this type of problem.you don`t say if you have check to see what is turning on the check engine light and what code is in the computer.this should have been done and may have help to find the problem in the begining.

1999 Chevrolet Geo Metro. I gave my sister a boost one day and they dropped the cables and they touched and surged my car causing it to stall and every since then my rev keeps going high then low high then...

the 'surge' probably did damage to the idle air controller, a device that is commanded by the engine computer to control the engine idle. You are lucky that is all it damaged, it could have been very expensive, as it is, that part is probably less than $100 and fairly easy to replace.

2001 lincoln ls will not shift out of park

Brake interlock, your foot needs to be on the brake to shift out of park. If you are doing that and you still can't shift then check all your fuses, the lock circuit may be out
