VP44 is dying probably. If you have a wire tap box, the connection might be bad.
Is the wire on the dragon fire tapped?
Does it have any electronics like an edge comp, drag comp, quadzilla adrenaline, tst....???
If it has a redline box, the pump wire needs to be tapped, and like limited said, that needs to be a solid connection. A loose or bad connection at the wire tap with cause surging.
Also, a loose or bad ground has caused surging in the past with my drag comp.
