Car will start and idle well, idles fine in the different gears. Then when you go to accelerate, about 1100 RPMs it starts surging up and down, but if you go up towards 13-1500 RPMs, it rides smooth. What could cause this?

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome to the site. I would say it is either the idle control sensor or the map sensor. Usually, with the map sensor, you experience the car stalling out. If this is not happening, I would say change the idle control sensor. If you have a check engine light on, take it to Autozone and have it scanned to make sure.

1999 oldsmobile intrigue stalls and surges under deceleration conditions only. Idles in neutral fine, accelerates fine, has no apparent miss. Can put in gear and travel great until under negative torque...

Do you have any codes? If so, what are they?
If not, this could be a mechanical problem with either the torque converter itself or some sort of stuck valve in the valve body inside the transmission.
I just replaced the valve body in my wife's 1999 Mercury Sable and it cleared up a number of problems she was having with shifting and torque converter lock up.
I hope this helps.
Good Luck!

1996 acura 2.5 tl upon start up the engine goes to 2500-3000 rpms then the engine rpms start surging between 1500 to 2000 then after several minutes it goes to a normal idle and runs fine.

Hi, I had the same problem, and is now fixed. Replace your idle control valve, and the idle problem will go away, and your car will be PERFECT!

1999 Ford SVT Mustang Cobra and a rattling sound

as for the rattling sound have you checked the heat shield on the catalytic converter, mine was loose and was causing a rattling sound when it was at idle, and would go away as the rpm's increased.
