A buddy with a Mazda repair business just had somebody drop off a '99 with a ForFuck'sSake m45 and a powecard on it. The owner says it surges at idle and dies until it warms up. My buddy works primarily on stock stuff and doesn't know WTF this horseshit arrangement is but wants to try to solve the guy's problem. He asked me for help and I said standalone, but that's not the short run answer for getting it out of my buddy's shop. Are there any tricks to smoothing the idle a bit in the short run? I'm thinking air bleed adjustment?

Best solution for idle droop is the dual throttle body mod.
Idle droop has got nothing to to with the engine management BTW. It is a "throttled volume" issue.
