Ideling irregular

Mazda Mazda3 2009 Hatchback  288026 miles
I have a 2009 Mazda 3 1.6 sport dynamic hatchback the Z6 motor and since last year when I did the clutch my Ideling is not the same anymore. When I'm driving and stop at a stop street sign or a robot the ideling is above 1000rpms some times it goes up and down then when I press the aircon switch then the rpms come down to below 1000rpms and due to that my car is heavy on fuel. I did replace the throttle body position control sensor as a mechanic told me that's the throttle body position control sensor that's gone. Does anyone have advice for me on this problem. I don't have a photo right now. The milage on my vehicle is 288206km

Check for air leaks in the air intake system
Check iddle valve
Check MAF sensor

Might be totally unrelated but a stuck EGR valve was causing idle issues on my Mazda 3. Also caused rough start, long cranking.

Not yet I'm thinking of taking it to the dealership so they can put it on their diagnostic system to see what's wrong

Idle problems with my Mazda 3

Mazda Mazda3 2011 Sedan 2.0 ALBA13 BL DRIVE L 55923 miles
The problem started when I had a mechanic clean my car's throttle body (it's a 2011 model with 90,000 km; I haven't driven it much). Since then, it has had idling issues. The engine suddenly revs up to 1,500 rpm and then drops back down. I’ve visited several mechanics; one suggested the neutral switch was the culprit (which makes sense, as pressing the clutch when it revs causes the acceleration to stop and the RPMs to return to normal levels). Another mechanic ran various tests on the throttle body—including a smoke test to check for leaks—and while the frequency has decreased, the issue still occurs about 10 times during a half-hour drive. What can I do? Thanks.

Jerking when the gear is in reverse or drive during low speed.

Experiencing hesitation during acceleration. Just cleaned fuel injectors. Ignition coil and spark plug is good. Cleaned the throttle body and still experiencing same issue. Just changed the atf and filter also the fuel filter.
