car has a surge problem	Sign In

Hello,

I am having a problem with my 2001 Ford explorer. When I start the truck and put it in drive and press the brakes at any point while driving or in idle the car surges - how can I explain this um,,,,- its like it wants to die or surges forward and rocks the truck back and forth it rev's over and over agian. any ideas?

thanks.

robin
