If you are able to while the car is idle surging, open the hood and tap on the iac (or near the iac) with a hammer, see if the idle smooths out. May be an intermittently sticking iac.

ok i did the iac tap. i did a light tap and then i beat the hell out of it. it somewhat stopped surging but it still had a shitty idel....but it tends to almost shut off when i have my head lights on. could the battery have something to do with it or something having to do with the alternator ?
