Narrative:

On climb out encountered left engine limit surge stall high egt and vibration. We leveled off and power came back and left engine was then operating within limits. However there was some vibration. We declared an emergency. We then completed the engine limit stall surge checklist and chose to keep engine running. We advised ATC that we wanted to return. We briefed flight attendants to expect a normal landing and we would be landing within five to ten minutes. ATC gave us vectors for the ILS. We had a normal smooth landing at 206;000 pounds. We cleared the runway and shut down the left engine. Emergency vehicles followed us to the gate.
