Hey everyone I just got a 99 durango I have a miss an its running rich but the scan just saying multiple misfires could the map do this or th o2 sensor s has new plugs wire cap so on new sensors on the throttle body except map sensor if I'm just barely giving it gas it's OK but starts misfires when I give it gas the only other thing I need to replace is the disc looking thing in the distributer I can't recall the name of it but can look if someone needs to know.

The autolites are likely just fine. These engines really don't care for the rare earth plugs. You end up with mystery misfires.

What kind of shape is the cap/rotor/wires in? May also want to take a look down the throttle body, into the intake, see if you see oil pooling in there. (common problem on the magnum engines.)
