May or may not be your problem and solution. But as I have worked on many of this particular model, It sounds like you have a idle air control issue. The idle control unit on your car is directly behind the intake next to the firewall, just beside the throttle body. If it's dirty, clogged or has moisture in it it will cause the car to surge, die, or rev up at random. Primarily when at idle or deceleration. Clean thoroughly with throttle body cleaner and try it again if the problem is better or goes away, you have found the issue. If the problem only gets better but doesn't go away, then replace the part. If it doesn't affect it at all have a tech check it on a scanner to make sure that it is working as it should. This part can go bad and work incorrectly and not throw a code for it !!!
Its done right or its not done !
