I shut it off, and restarted it. after doing this three times the car fired right up fine, no check engine light, and ran perfectly. It still surges at lights once in a while, so i know it will happen again. Ideas? Thanks!

Could be the infamous LT1 EGR issue. Try plugging the vacuum line that runs to the EGR (back of the intake manifold, have fun reaching it under the windshield) and see if the problem disappears.
