check your cold starter and check for some air leaks... or maybeyour idle control is switched too low

And have you checked the TPS yet? Most idle problems are related to the TPS or vacuum leaks.

And if you can't figure out an simple idle issue, or even spell Rotary, then you should not be considering a Turbo or Turbo engine swap, because you are way way over your head on that.

 

as Icemark stated, yes.. Throttle Position Sensor (TPS).. i had this issue.. supposedly you can make your own TPS checkin thing.. dont remember where... or you can purchase one at banzairacing under FC3S products. they have a TPS tester, comes in handy... had to readjust my TPS, now my car revs strong.
