I have a 2003 Mazda 6 with approximately 130,000 miles on it. When I start it up first thing in the morning, I need to let it sit for about 4-5 minutes until the idle comes down to about 1,000 rpm. If I end up putting the car in drive/reverse right away and not letting it idle down, the car will continue to idle high as I drive or when I'm sitting at the stop light. It will even push the car forward when breaking, causing me to really step down on the brake. I have also found that if I don't let the car idle down when starting, that the next time I start it, it will blow white smoke out of the exhaust in an exessive amount. I've recently had a tune-up and they found nothing wrong with the engine, so now I'm looking to you guys for help!

Hi Canuck_28, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

You need to have the following check and tested the throttle position sensor, mass airflow sensor, accelerator pedal position sensor and throttle actuator
