If you take it to a shop you will probably want to wait till it is less intermittent that way they don't spend your money trying to verify the symptom.
Not sure about your noise, could be the pump. Abnormal fuel pressure will not make the engine race and then stall, it could cause a non start or rich condition but not usually an abnormal idle at this low of mileage.
I would bet my paycheck the Idle Air Control Motor is bad. That is purely just an educated guess from the way you described it, mainly you need to get it checked when it acts up more often.
Good Luck
Is the whistling noise constant and do you hear it for about 3 seconds when you first turn the key to the 'on' position? (Not start) If so, that is probably your fuel pump making the noise.
Last I checked, we don't have an IAC motor... the electronic TB obsoletes this circuit/system on the 2.3L. The TB is monitored pretty closeley by the computer so if it messes up, you'll usually get a CEL.

Forgot that mazda does this. Definetely makes a more difficult diagnosis.....For a stall we need to know what we are losing that makes an engine run. We need Spark, Fuel/Air, Compression. We can rule out compression it wouldn't normally be intermittent especially at this mileage. Intermittent are tough, might have to wait till it won't start.
