I dunno the background on your 4.7 but the surging is probably a dirty IAC valve or a bad TPS...both are on the throttle body. I'd remove it and replace the TPS also clean or replace the IAC....might as well clean the whole throttle body since it's already off.

I believe the EGR on your engine is behind the driverside head near the firewall.....not sure though.

First thing that came to my mind was TPS.
