Maybe it's the TPS. As for the throttle bottom did you get a new one or just clean it?
I had quite a hard time reading your problem.

The throttle body was brand new dealer installed.

Thats a big safety issue for you and everyone around you what you should do is leave the vehicle at the dealer and tell them its not safe to drive get them to give you a loaned vehicle and for them to get the shop foreman to drive the vehicle thats my thoughts you will need to video type this to show them once they have seen it im sure they will not let you drive the vehicle tell its fixed remeber you have a E-brake lol this is just my thoughts

I actually have a similar issue. I have a 2010 GS sedan, but mine is manual. Sometimes when I'm just slowing down at an intersection, I'll be down shifting, almost stopped, with the clutch pushed down. The Rpms will shoot up to 3-4K, then jump back down. It doesn't happen very often, so I didn't think anything of it. But it seems like you have a similar problem? Has the dealer given you any solutions to the problem?
It only happens to me when the clutch is pushed down, so my car doesn't lunge forward or anything,
But if it ever does happen while the gears are engaged, I could see it being a potentially very dangerous situation. Lets know if you find anything about this. I didn't think anything of it until now. I thought maybe I just tapped the gas, even though I was sure I didn't. I'll try to monitor the car when it happens again and I'll let you know.

What do you mean by replaced? is not like Toyota problem ,but did check the mat as well was asked by dealer if i had other mats but it has the stock mats.The gas petal works by wire etc.Dealer I think check this but did not say that was a problem!:bang

Yes That has been talk about and it could be deadly !! I have had the top Technician at the dealer take the car for three days drove it around in city driving as well as highway ,took it home ,ever thing and it did not do it for him !! It's harder then you think to get thinks they do not see for there self ,the dealer has to prove to Mazda Canada to get them (Mazda) to pay for thinks they do and replace to fix a PROBLEM:bang:bang:bang:bang I have also said that my 3 year fix every thing for free is about UP!! DO NOT Want to paid for a Mazda problem that THEY NEED to FIX.

There is a control box ( computer)that controls all these functions but it cost a lot and Mazda wants prof that it needs replacing .That where i think we are at to fix it, will see if it starts up again :bang Any other thought from anyone???

toyota gas pedals works be electric signals, just like your car's
if the gas pedal is messed up, then you'll get "unintended acceleration"

How do you prove to the dealer that this is the problem ? I said this to the dealer as i said before but with electronics if they work OK when checked then they are considered find ! So there is a switch that could be not working right? or the computer is getting the Wrong info.:bang
Still having problem ,have found that when it happens if I quickly lift foot off the brake and re a ply that the RPM drop off to normal .Waiting for dealer to call so they can put in the recording box and see if it will happen while that is on hopping this will record and they, Mazda Canada and the dealer will step up to the plate and do what ever it takes to get rid of this problem for ever!:flaming

:goleafsgo
Latest up date about this problem Dealer has had my Mazda 3 for the last two weeks ,they have still not got in touch with me to say they have found (experience the revving) or got it fixed I think when I hear from them they will say that they have got the recording box from Mazda Canada and to come get it and drive it till it happen !! :bang Be sides been a Big safety problem it is Tiresome !!! Only good is they the dealer is having Mazda Canada pay for a rental for me .I will wait till they phone.Has anyone else had this problem and had it fix,on a 2010 or newer three?? Any thoughts?
Well I finely have my Mazda 3 back after dealer waited for over a month for Mazda Canada to get back to them to try and fix this problem! No luck yet,have the recording box on the car know and am hopping it happen again SOON and then may be they will be able to see what is causing this revving problem and FIX IT !!!! Will post with results I hope soon .It might be Months before it happens again :bang Leave a comment if you like this is driving me nuts:bana:bana2:chuckle

I had a car at work (not mazda) with a similar issue, BUT the major difference is this car had limited to no throttle response. Turns out the ECU had large amounts of corrosion on the pin terminals. Was causing the 5 volt signal to be off and set a fault for the throttle body and gas pedal. Considering the mazda ECU's are rather exposed to the elements I would not be surprised if corrosion was to build on the ECU
