Change the sparks and leads firstly, also is the air pump connected? if not connect that up and it should smooth itself out. Once you\'ve done that get it mapped for Uk fuel.
Just some ideas for starters, also what mods etc are you running?

perhaps the vac line from the pressure sensor has come off? you should see a small box about the size of a match box on the right hand side of the firewall make sure the vacuum pipe is hooked up.

How do you know that is the cause of your problem?  Unless it\'s been ok then you\'ve fiddled with it and now it\'s not ok?

Seeing though you "really want to look after it", book it in with someone who has a clue!

Thats the joys of rotary ownership im afraid, many of us have to travel hundreds of miles to take our cars to a decent rotary tuner.

There\'s quite a few scottish lads on here that im sure will point you in the right direction.

Does it have a boost gauge? - If so what is that doing at idle

Do you have problems starting it when hot?

The rev counter jumping about.. do you mean the engine is hunting up and down or just the needle is flicking about randomly like an electical fault
