Mazda Protege 5
Hey everyone, my wife was driving my protege5 the other day and the car would not idle and kept turning off on her. After some investigation I find some disconnected wires above the throttle body. Come to find out a squirrel decided my car would make a perfect home and wire from the car would be a perfect addition to it. I spliced all the wires back together and the car will idle now, but.... It will idle smoothly for about 30 sec. after I let off the gas then drop below 500 rpm, almost stall before raising back to around 600 to 700 rpm rough idle. If i hit the gas real quick it will idle smoothly again and in 30 sec the process repeats. Any help would be great to what is happening and if anybody knows what the connections go to may help as well. I will post some pics of the connections in hope that it will help.
 
Here are some pictures
