Any mechanics on fedi? Partner has had issues tracking down an issue

Got a Mazda 3 2004 2.0L 5sp Manual Hatchback that's getting rpm fluctuations at idle when in neutral, jumping up and down between 650 and 1200 rpm usually after running for a little but is inconsistent.

- We've cleaned the throttle body & idle air control valve*, checked for clean movement
- Reset the idle memory
- Checked the Throttle positon, MAF and MAP sensors
- Had one CEL at random (P0507 idle air control system rpm higher than expected), occured long after the issue started and hasn't reoccured since clearing
- Recently replaced fuel filter, engine air filter, sway bar links & engine mounts
- Doesn't correlate with refueling, so we believe the purge valve system is uninvolved
- Doesn't correlate with AC on/off
- Engaging the clutch typical causes the rpm to drop back to regular levels

* Cleaning the IAC did make low speed maneuvering considerably smoother, maybe we just need a second clean.

@izaya@social.shadowkat.net thankyou! We'll take a look into those, hope it solves your issues too

Do they just mean, they like, hang around like a bad smell?

For an insect they call "stinkbug", I swear I've never smelled anything stinky from them

Don't use that tone with me

Let's see how quick this instance falls over, could I get boost for federation?
