High Idle with Power FC

I just recently installed the following things on my car, list is below... Anyway, I started the car for the first time and i began to idle at 2000rpm, i know that the Power FC is suposed to "hunt" for the idle but it didn't do anything like it?? So i began to mess around with the idle screw right under the throttle body, i got it down to about 1500rpm but it wont go lower than that...
The Power FC was tuned to another car earlier, it had the same modifications that mine did.. do u think if i reset the Power FC it would work differnetly, Would it "hunt" for the idle??

THANKS FOR THE HELP...

The power FC by default idles at 2 grand as an accelerated warm up. once the car hits about 100 degrees it drops to 1500 and then once its warmed up it hits 750. And unlike the stock ECU you can't just tap the gas to get it to go away.

You can disable it somewhere. I haven't bought a command yet so I haven't disbabled it myself. Next time I go back to my tuner I'm going to have him disable it.

I would check your cruise control wire too. After I installed a few things on my car somehow I accidentally got the cruise wire stuck open and didn't know it. Just don't overlook that cause I did and I felt like such a dumbass when I finally took it to a friend who is a mazda mechanic and told me what it was.
