Could be a lot of things. However, when I had that problem, I had damaged a rotor housing. The car drove ok but shaking at idle. Compression test reveiled the damage.

ahhhhh, you are very persistent! 3 messages in 3 minutes! holy crap!
to fix a rotor housing, you have to pull out and disassemble the whole engine.

i'll leave it to you to figure out the rest... but i recommend, if you don't know what fixing a rotor housing takes, http://auto.howstuffworks.com/rotary-engine.htm

Start with getting a compression test done. It doesn't have to be "exact". Using a standard piston engine compression tester (without the check valve) will at least give you an idea if you have "even" compression.

It's never a good idea to drive a car knowing something is wrong with it.
