Good luck, post some pictures

Get a rotary compression test from the dealer or rotary specific repair shop.

Skips could be spark misfire, injector misfire, compression problem, sensor failure, filter clogged .......

If you get 6 good compression readings
replace fuel/air filters and plug wires
adjust timing, idle, TPS...
clean fuel injectors(removal is best method)
Check for vacuum leaks and damaged intake hoses. It might be best just to replace all the vacuum hoses.
