Okay, on the plugs, I have seen many counterfeit parts from online sources. I wanted to possibly eliminate that. The fuel trims long term are trying to pull fuel while the short terms are adding. Try this. Start the engine, let it idle a bit. Note those trims. Now rev it up to 1000 and note those, now up to 2000 and note those. If at idle you see the trims going positive (like those readings) then as you step up the rpms they start to go down until you get to closer to zero trim (A perfect engine would show the fuel trims at numbers that zero out, so maybe long term at 2% but short term at -1% or similar). Also look at the MAF numbers, with a warm engine you should see about 3.5 grams per second at idle. Normally you figure one gram of flow per liter of engine size as a starting point. Then as the throttle opens it should go up at a nice even rate. However, if it hasn't been cleaned in a while this would be a good time to clean it and maybe the throttle body. Just to see if it is related. Another quick test to see if it's a vacuum leak, on a cold engine, start it and then spray carb cleaner near the intake gasket area, around the vacuum lines and check the air tube between the MAF and throttle body as well. If there are no leaks the engine will stay steady, if it suddenly changes when sprayed, look for a leak in that area.
