Default 97 dakota 5.2 misfire

1997 Dakota SLT 2wd 5.2

first got the truck it ran great, then it would slowly get worse and worse. the last month or so ive been chasing a misfire. ive changed coil, plugs (multiple times), wires, distributor, o2 sensors, oil sending unit, capped off evap box under bed. it threw 8 codes, 6 for misfires and 2 for o2. fixed the o2 and they went away. Found a spark plug that was cracked, so I changed it again. runs better now, but code 306 is still popping up. and occasionally a 300. I'm thinking do a compression test or I have a bad injector. I'm tired of guessing and just want it running right, any help would be appreciated. thanks
