to find out if its your iacv that needs to be cleaned (and most all of them do) cover the hole in the throttle body with your finger, and if the surging goes away, you need to remove it and clean it per the DIY in the FAQ. and i agree with civicjoe about the clutch. when you go to accelerate from a stop, what is the rpm at to get the car moving? if its anything over 2 grand you should think about checking your clutch.
