If the O2 sensor is disconnect the surging completely goes away, so I believe this problem is limited to the Lambda system. I do have an LM-2 wideband connected and with the O2 Sensor disconnected I see 14.3 - 14.5 while cruising, O2 sensor connected I see it jumping between 14.3 and 15.3 at the same RPM and speed range.

I have replaced the O2 sensor and the FV relay, both made no difference. I have also adjusted the mixture several times with no noticeable change in the surging. I am thinking possibly an issue with the Lambda ECU??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Your data from your first post is potentially insightful. It indicates your warm control pressure may be a little too low (causing a too rich a mixture).
An upstream post suggested checking the warm control pressure. Have you checked it to the posted WUR specs?
This can potentially contribute to the closed loop O2 system developing a greater Lambda correction - surging,
as the system attempts to over-correct (15.3)



To lean the mixture, the pin needs to move up.
