Rough idle. Codes read Random Misfire on idle speed, lean on bank 1 and 2. Plugs, wires, coil new. Mass air sensor new, throttle body replaced has bout 50k on it, pulled O2s and cleaned them. Mazda said my 04 with a 2.3, car doesn't have a air idle control valve. No fix. Any thoughts?

idle air control valve is built into the trottle body. wascode p2187 p2188 p0300. most times the pcm needs recalibrated with updated software. other option could be the pcv hose and valve located behind the intake manifold. check the maf sensor connector for broken wires. also check for vacuum leaks. intake manifold gaskets. imrc solenoids on the top of the intake. try these things out.
