06 Rx-8 start and idle problem

I recently bought a 2006 rx-8, now im having problems with starting it. It starts rough and idles high then dies out. If i give it gas it will stay running, can anyone let me know whats wrong with it. I would like to try and fix it myself before bringing it in. Ive heard it could be the apex seals are worn out aswell. Am i better off rebuilding the engine ?

Thanks
