According to my Haynes repair manual if the engine surges while holding the accelerator steady - some of the causes could be : vacuum leak at the intake manifold or hoses restricted air filter fuel pump or pressure regulator defective fuel injection or engine control systems malfunction A friend and I, both driving 1995 Ford Explorers,developed an off and on surging problem at speeds over 37 MPH . The cure was to install a new set of motorcraft platinum spark plugs, to replace the original motorcraft platinum spark plugs. In my case I only had 41,000 miles on the original platinum plugs but 2 of them had gaps wider than the recommended range. I suspect that the 2 were not gapped correctly from the factory because the other 6 were gapped correctly.

Can a transistor short circuit?
Yes from over current from power surges, over driving by the user in case of amplifiers, or other component failure around the transistor. Also overheating can cause transistor failure from poor ventilation or loos heatsink.
What is surge voltage?
Surge voltage means sudden big voltage. Surge voltage is of two types lightening surge and switching surge or in electrical engineering, a voltage rise that endangers the insulation of electric equipment. A correct calculation of voltage surges is of great economic and practical importance in the selection of insulation and of measures for power supply system protection, particularly for voltages above 10kilo-volts(kV). There are two types of voltage surges lightning surges and system generated surges.
What are desert gullies prone to sudden flood surges called?
They are called wadis in Africa and Asia and arroyos in much of the Americas.
How do you fix a vehicle that surges and won't gain speed?
It depends on what's wrong. If you are only guessing, i'd start with the fuel filter.

Is it really nessecary to replace a surge protector after a lightening strike?
If your surge protector is still supplying power, it should still be fine. Surge protectors have two separate ways of preventing surges, semiconductors act as variable resistors to prevent smaller surges (which can be cause by things as simple as refrigerators and air conditioners, anything high voltage), and a fuse that breaks to protect from surges the semiconductors cannot handle. If the surge protector is still supplying power, the fuse is still intact, and your surge protector is fine.
Why does 1996 Pontiac sunfire engine surges after warming up It if fine for the first 20minutes of driving then surges.?
This is a dangerous condition that can or will result in a collision/loss of control. There are multiple causes which include an evaporative emissions component failure and idle air control motor. These problems are indicated by the engine racing inexplicably.

No. Large waves and storm surges are a product of hurricanes.
How can strata surfwear protect their system against power surges?
it cant protect the system against power surges
What are symptoms of a bad throttle position sensor?
A bad throttle sensor can cause several problems. Symptoms include rough idle, loss of power, and even power surges while driving. .
How are storm surges good?
no they are bad!
Can a capacitor be used to help smooth out inverter surges?
A: YES it can to a point but as speed of surges increases the capacitor will start to behave like a coil
Why does a Chevy G20 crus control just drop out at anytime while driving i HAVE replaced servo brain box and hoses?
I had this same problem and It was my fuel filter. Engine surges because there is not enough fuel. Check it.
