does it have a Fast Idle Thermo Valve? If so, clean it and/or tighten it down. Good luck!

clean out the IACV with brake cleaner, or is there anything else that could cause this?

Have you bled the coolant though? If there's an air bubble anywhere, it could cause this.

Sorry, didn't see your second post. Last time I had IACV problems, I cleaned it out with brake cleaner, but it didn't fix it. I threw a known good one in there, and the problem went away. Cleaning IACV works sometimes, but sometimes you just have to replace it.

sounds like what happened to me. I had a vacuum leak and it did the same thing. check all the ports and hoses.

could be the pcv valve check that. let the car warm up to normal operating temp and find the vacuum hose for the pcv valve and pinch it close if the surge stops then you have found your problem
