Default cherokee sport 2001 unstable timing at idle

I used torque app and an OBD II SCANNER to check the engine timing, i found the timing not stable at idle speed which in my car ranges from 650 to 690 rpm. when i raised the rpm to 1500 the timing was stable and the graph showed a smooth line. I found codes of O2 sensor 1/2 which i am going to replace. Also i found a code for cylinder 1 missfire, so i insulated injector no 1. And the code didn't show again except after extended periods (once every month or so). Also i always hear a tiking sound comming from the front passenger side when i am inside the car. Waiting for your kind replies.

What do you mean by "stable", static?

The ticking is part of the evap system. It is supposed to do that.
