I would bet on the IAC. The only other thing I know of that causes surging is a vacuum leak.

It's the IAC. You can try cleaning it, and if it's moderately gummed up it may fix it for a while but a true fix will be a new valve. Fords are common for it from what I've seen.
One way to try and prevent it from gumming up after you replace it is when you go through your other maintenance give it a quick clean so the carbon doesn't have a chance to build up.
