    Hi Kevin Salzman,try to tell more than one word, surge.
    and scan the PCM, first.
    transmission slip will surge.
    transmissions shifting, and hunting gears.
    eg: 2>3 3>2 hunts. or 1/2 hunts.
    why not ask a shop to diagnose the surge.

Surging is the engine surging or trans slipping, or shifting wrong.
(only you can answer that, we cant drive your car and see)if you can;t tell this, get car serviced.
Ill not send a barrage of bad sensors here (xxxxx)
ENGINE:
engine surge is not safe, and most cars new can go to limphome mode
to make driver safe, today.
(ask toyota about the $1billion lawsuit on that)
Throttle by wire, also prevents this. (bam to limphome) and is TBW !
get car serviced, its a danger. any form of surge.

check engine lamp"CEL" , running, ignoring that.?
scan it yet./ bet not.
2.4L world gas engine. chain cam DOHC engine.
usually surge is a factor of lean air mixtures.
in the dark days of old ECU's they when crazy and surged the ISC, that is history now.... (mostly)

if you dont have tools and skills
why not do like 99% do and get car serviced.?
we cant drive it and see what;'s really happening, so......

    scan it yet?
    look for engine codes and trans missions
    and both can go to limphome (in) mode.

Could be any one of a number of sensors for engine control . Mass air flow sensor , TPS - throttle position sensor, or APP- accerator pedal position sensor etc... Without testing an looking at scan tool data ,who could say for sure . How does the vehicle idle ? how does the vehicle run at cruise speeds ? Does the vehicle have electronic throttle control ? 2010 - i'm sure it probably does . Is the check engine light lit ? Your best bet would be to take it to a qualified repair shop.

SOURCE: i took the air duct

Yes this is just as you are trimming the Jeep for power in which case your fuel economics will work down.
Also the engine noise will change as the sucction is different and not muffled with the duct in place.

If you think this suits for the time being be a sports enthusiactic.

Anytime a light does something weird it's usually a bad connection. Could be a wire grounding out or a loose connection at either end of the wire.

Single knock sound from dead stop or when slowing down

I had the same problem on a brand new 2008 JEEP Patriot. The solution after 2 trips to the dealer was to tighten all the suspension bolts in the front. Note wether your problem is in the front or rear and go to the dealer.
