Throttle sticking open during heavy acceleration
Now I always let my new car warm up after starting, and have driven it quite a bit in the past couple days, but noticed recently a scary tidbit that when putting your foot down more than usual, i think when the secondaries open they stick open sometimes and need to work 'em a bit to close them and cant switch gears effectively because it will try to go past redline, and so is this the ticket for a rebuild? It probably is because it hesitates a bit when touching the gas from idle and seems to skip sometimes at idle. Or would carb cleaner be a good idea? But im not sure 'cuz I'm a newbie to the rotary engine world.

Thoroughly clean the throttle body with brake cleaner, then soak it down in penetrating oil. Go for a few drives to heat cycle everything, then thoroughly clean all the penetrating oil off with brake cleaner.
