As a safety measure, with the brake applied, the computer is shutting down
the high idle.
When the idle speed lowers to a specific RPM the computer "thinks" all is
well, until the idle runs up again and the computer again shuts down the
high idle. Thus the surging.
You may have to adjust the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS).
