Hi & Welcome to ja.com...

First thing todo is have a good look and listen around the engine bay -- listening for any air leaks - induction air leaks - hissing., will cause such problems.

Look carefully at all the pipe work - especially the small bore pipes - inspect them for spilts/perishing and rectify any such problems....

If all that checks out -then the problem will be the IAC valve - the Idle Valve itself.

Sometimes these can be removed and cleaned with petrol - and this can work , so give that a try --

If that doesn't work , then renewal of the valve will be the answer to this one.

Kind Rgds, MIKE

Hello Again....

I will have try and dig out a pic for you -- I have tried just now but not come up with it yet... I have a feeling that this one just may be a part of the throttle body - but I will double check for you - and get back to you tomorrow...

Cost would depend on whether you buy new or second hand - new I'm really not sure - but not cheap I wouldn't doubt -- if you give your Mazda dealer a ring they will tell you a price no trouble --

I would suggest however that you try clicking here ~ www.partsgateway.co.uk      for a good second hand one.    What you do here , is enter your details on the system - and then suppliers will come back to you / contact you and and supply you with a good second hand one - probably for around the 40£ mark I would think.    That's certainly what I would do if it comes to needing one.

There is no problem with driving it like that - it wont cause any problems other that fuel consumption and irritating for you as the driver ;-/

I hope this helps you sleep good --   AND   Thank you for the Accept - and I would also like to point out - that you have had the dubious honour of giving me my 1000 th ACCEPT !        Thank You !

Kind Rgds to you ,    MIke
