Recheck all the connections and check the bolts. Are they tightened down so there is no air leak, and are all the sensors plugged in.
Surging is usually caused by air leaks though, so I would check that first.

Try unplugging the PCM for about a minute, then replug it in and try starting it again.

Hmm... Did you intake filter possibly fall off? It is surging, right? Are any codes being thrown?

Yea, sometimes the PCM just needs a good nap to get everything back in order. Lol. Thats what I did when it tossed up Crankshaft codes.
