An engine may surge when the check engine light is on due to various factors, such as a malfunctioning sensor (like the mass airflow or oxygen sensor), issues with the fuel system, or problems in the ignition system. These faults can disrupt the air-fuel mixture or timing, causing irregular engine performance. Additionally, the vehicle’s onboard diagnostic system may enter a "limp mode" to protect the engine, leading to erratic power delivery. It's essential to diagnose the underlying issue with a code reader to address the problem effectively.
