Default help please..

well it started after my 1st bank o2 went out. i had a p0132 (1st bank o2), and p0300 code (random misfire). we swapped out the o2 sensor with a new bosch 13444 o2. this seemed to solve the occasional bog-down and hard shifting. but now i have a few different issues and im wondering you guy's input. when i start the car up the start up just seems different. the cars seems to be a bit quieter, a little sluggish, and at WOT sometimes ill get either a missfire or pop when it shifts. also theres a slight ticking from underneath the car it seems but can't figure it out. there is no SES light on and i went and got it scanned at autozone last night and it said "pass". the wires seem to be fine, but what else should i check and how to check it?

Spark plug most likely if you hear a tick and get a misfire. How old are your plugs? How is your Oil PSI looking?

It wont throw a code everytime. Random misfires can elude the PCM sometimes. Just put in some new plugs and may as well buy wires if they havent been done in a really long time.
