I'm dealing with the same problem, It's the fuil pressure regulator. The part is 450.00ish, 4 hr. labor. I'm going to replace mine myself.

No, it is poo89, (fuil rail pressure sensor), on mine. It surges at idle in park and in gear. I was told by my mechanic that it gets scored and sticks allowing to much fuil in the rail, the engine surges as it burns the excesive fuil.

I have ordered the fuil pressure regulator and bought it for $230.00! It's a bosch, just like the one frome the dealer. I found the website that gives the info on install.
