Definitely get new wires in there. The stock ones often give out around 50K miles and you don't even notice anything wrong yet the car starts having problems.

If you still have any problems with idle or anything, maybe try cleaning the MAF (ask or search for instructions on how to do that). And if there's a CEL get the code from it.
