You can adjust the rack damper bolt if you loosen the lock nut on it then back the bolt out of screw it in. Lots of info on here about the rack damper bolt (a.k.a. governor idle adjument pin).
I've dealt with a RD bolt problem, I would describe as a fluctuation, vs. a surge, only at idle tho, and not dramatic. If the surge happens other times too......I'm stalling for time!
