the IAC is working, though it did come with the throttle body. The
intake tube was the first thing replaced due to cracks.

Ok. Have you checked the idle contact switch? There's a brown wire
going to it thats 12 volts until the switch grounds it to 0 volts.
I know you said you changed the "mass airflow sensor" but since this
has a vane airflow meter, not a MAF, I wanted to make sure we're on the
same page. There is a circuit in the VAF meter that cuts off the fuel
pump relay (Mazda calls it a circuit opening relay) if the air flap
closes completely. It would be something to check out.
The solid light green wire at the VAF is what grounds when the air flap
is slightly opened. If you were to ground this wire the FP relay would
remain powered. This circuit is only a "hold-in winding" so it may not
be capable of actually MOVING the relay contacts, but if the car is
running already, then grounding that wire will keep the FP relay closed
as long as the key remains on.
If you unplug the VAF connector with key on, the Lt Green wire should
read battery voltage from the power going through the FP relay coil.
If no voltage there, suspect a bad hold-in winding in the FP relay. Of
course you will set code(s) so they will need to be cleared.
