Question Idle problems

My idle is fine when I first start the car. But after it warms up, it will jump around 1500-1200. I have taken off the cold start assist, air pump, and A/C. The car runs fine except at idle.
The Mazda dealer told me my engine was bad, that one of the Apex seals was almost gone making it idle up and down this way. Wouldn't it do this while the engine was cold too, if that was the case?
I have also grounded the coils and fuse box in the enginc compartment.

Anyone have any ideas?
