Help! Turbo Miata High Idle

Help! Turbo Miata High Idle
I have a 1993 Turbo Miata running a megasquirt 2 plug n play. It currently idles at 2700 rpm! I have tried everything. I got a new throttle body. The idle adjustment screw is screwed in all the way down. I tried playing with all the megasquirt idle controls with no success. I made sure the throttle cable was good. The throttle body has a new gasket. Does anyone have any idea why it could be idling so high. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Is it my megasquirt settings? Anything mechanical? Thank you!!

Check for vacuum leak, also your idle fuel cells may be uneven, does it hunt up and down for idle.
Don't go by what I say though, still learning, my idle issues were pretty much tuning issues and a vacuum leak, which I found by spraying some brake clean around the intake when it was running, it will bog down the motor a quick sec when you find it. . . also even out your idle area in your fuel table, that will help as well.

Unplug your IAC.
Unplugging it will close the valve.
If idle drops, you have a setting problem.
If it remains high, at 2700 RPM like you said, you have a big vacuum leak.
Check to see if you still have the restrictor orifice in your PCV line.
Check your brake booster / booster line.
