    Just let the car warm up it then idles fine. I usually drive it slow first 8 minutes then its fine.

    Also see miata.net for potential reasons for idle problems. There is an idle-adjust screw, but adjusting it is a tricky business because you are fighting the ECU which also wants to fix the idle. You need to disable
    to ECU to set the screw correctly.
