Default JKU issue with idle

Hi guys I have a 2007 JKU with 110k. I recently put 20 bucks of gas in it after on the highway I had a cyl 6 misfire so I pulled the plug and it was pretty worn out. I replaced all plugs and wires and gapped to .05 I also used champion plugs and put some fuel treatment in. It seems I got misfire to go away but at idle it almost lopes and feels as it wants to miss and bog down. Any of you guys had any experience with this?

I was told .04 -.05 but I can try that and are you spraying through TB or somewhere else ? I'm really confused I'm pretty sure I didn't mess up firing order or anything in that nature.

#6 injector

or fuel pump.

you need spark, fuel and air for combustion.

sparks been checked
air is probably not the problem

I'm thinking it's a pump due to bad gas
