well your sig shows that you have an ORY, you may not even have rear o2 sensors, so thats one thing down. The front ones may be bad, if so I'm pretty sure that will make the engine run crappy. Replacing the wire and plug should have gotten rid of the miss fire. What condition was the plug in? That can give you a pretty good idea of whats happening in the cylinder and maybe prevent it from happening again.

did it smell like gas or no?

It it smells like its running rich, you could have 2 front 02's bad and its causing a rich condition.

Fix the front O2s first, then look at the #3 wire, is it sitting on the header and burning thru the insulation (that could explain both the missfire and the burning smell, also check around the headers for wires that are close, especially the O2 sensor wire(s)that could be the cause of the O2s going bad and the burning smell
