anytime there is a surge in idle you should suspect a vac leak. Air leaks in SD systems are the kiss of death to the tune since the system is reading the plenum vac for a measurment of how much fuel. The smallest vac leak can throw that off and cause the computer to make wild swings in its AFR...
The system not being as sensitive as MAF and being a bit more prone to less precision is why they are not common. They were the simple solution to the complex AFR ratio but they were just too vague and not precise enough to keep up with emissions ever changing standards.

EGR valve still in the system? It may be staying open.
