It is surging REALLY hard at idle...
From ~900RPM to 1600PRPM. Over and over and over and over. And when I put it in drive it is super jerky...

Re: It is surging REALLY hard at idle...
I found that my idle adjustment screw was waaaaay backed off, and it seemed to be causing surging. I closed the screw until the engine almost died at idle, then opened it the correct amount (using the Helms process).
It pops up every couple years, but cleaning the IACV takes care of it (no FITV on the VX, though.) That's an easy process, and worth trying!

Welp! Gasketing issues (probably head.)
How do I know?
- Bubbles in radiator..
- Water from exhaust when coolant or water put ..
Nothing on the caps, or milkshake oil, but, tell-tale dipstick bubbles.
Driving with loose cap... Head Gasket seems most likely..
:-(
