They looked pretty good for kms.
I havent had any engine codes come up, Once your cruising you wouldnt know there was a problem but when you first acclerate it stutters/misses and when your idleing its a bit rough other wise you wouldn't know there was anything wrong.

Try cleaning the MAF sensor. Unplg it and see if idle smooths.

Also meticulously check for any bad/defective/collapsed/ vacuum lines.
