check for exhaust leaks, vacuum leaks, sparkplugs, adjust the tps, minor stuff like that shuold fix it, my car has the "popping" idle sometimes. Seems also to be dependant on the electrical load on the car aswell.

When does it happen? If its when you're deccelerating then its prob just backfiring, which is pretty normal for rotaries, especially ones with removed emissions.
