WHAT??
Far as what I know, if your idle is set too high, car will hunt. I don't think you'll have starting issues as you could give little throttle for higher rpm..
What I don't understand is why you are searching for other options when its so easy to change the wires... Wires are cheap and takes 15-30 mins to swap. If you haven't done this in years, I would go ahead and give that a try before you try something else.

Change the plug wires. I once bought a sencond gen for $100 in decent shape because the guy said the motor was shot. Boy was he suprised when I drove it off after changing plugs and wires in front of his house. The car still runs to this day. I change plug wires once a year minimum. Ignition is very important on the rotary.
Or you can pay someone else to do it.

I'm just curious as to why you would go as far as to drive to PFS and when you could spend 30mins to an hour to change the plug wires and plugs... then see if the problem persists...
Obviously the plugs were an issue, but could be because your wires are bad and not giving full spark... which might lead to carb build up or some other things are happening..
Change the plug wires!! They are pretty cheap and I'm guessing equal to an hour of PFS inspection fee.
Otherwise, I'm mind blown as you get on here asking for suggestion but refuse to take simple advice??
