Dewd?
Ahhhhh dewd?
How can you possibly come up with all that from the little that is posted?
That guy didn't even know what a map was?
it could a completely unrelated issue?
I'm not saying you're wrong but it is very presumptuous
BTW ... this whole learn the fuel trims thing is BS if you ask me. I've reset dozens of RX8 ecu's which wipes the fuel trims and not one of them stumbled on idle.
There is something else wrong if this happens

Cool, it is the P0506. I drove it for two days, still wouldn't idle after got warm. Dealer is suggesting new MAF, new air filter and clean the throttle body.
It had been having problems only on occassion, specifically when driving around 75 mph for a long time...(over our passes etc) it would stall at the light when I would get off the freeway. After a couple of starts it would be fine. It's been fine for several months now (now 75 mph), plenty of power, and now after disconnecting the battery it's not idling.
I've done the 80 pedal pumps, driving it quite a bit over the two days. we'll see. Car's history... has 185k (love the thing) had a new engine put in on warranty at 95 K...Thanks guys.

hi guys... Its running well again. Wanted to thank everyone for posting here and elsewhere...been very helpful.
Turns out the new air filter...cleaning the MAF and cleaning the throttle body did the trick. Its idling better than before.
Paul at university mazda in seattle is great. Didnt try to sell me things i didnt need...gave it a few days of starting and driving to see if that was it...was just trying to fix it not sell me.
Thanks again everyone..hope this helps others with the cel p0506.

Hey guys, I'm having a similar issue as the OP. My car has AEM intake, RB Exhaust and a BHR Ignition. All mods were done in early June. I never had any problems with idle until the last couple weeks. I used to have the occasional hard start but never a big deal and now the last 4/5 times i've started my car its been a hard start. I figured the Ignition may have been able to alleviate the hard starts but obviously i could be wrong. SO i'm having consistent hard starts and occasionally at idle i can hear and feel my RPMs drop as if it was going to die but i've never had it actually die. Any help would be awesome guys.

Respectfully
The most important part of this post is check for vacuum leaks.
The ECU does not need 3 or 4 drive cycles to learn trims.
I may know little but of this I do speak with experience.
LTFT can be learned inside 5 minutes.
As a matter of fact ... I saw it just the other day
edit -- read this in a "two guys having a beer at a bar tone" ... will accept counter argument ... I'm not trying to **** anyone off
