Did the smoke test and found no leaks. Still fighting these misfires. I dont know if this helps in anyway but when i changed the plugs about 3 weeks ago, the old ones were black as night. Only 5000 miles on them. Mean anything?

Running rich is what that tells ya . Either too much fuel, not enough air or not hot enough spark.

Sensor replacement/adjustment depending on year of jeep and type of sensor. If your having an issue of runnin to rich/lean, there's a chance it's the o2's. (I only looked at the the post above mine, so sorry if its irrelevant!)

Could the o2s go bad without throwing a code?

Yes, o2's can go without tripping CEL. Most likely it's the pre cat sensor.
