Could be that if the car was sitting a while, the fuel may be stale. With that mileage, it would not hurt to clean the throttle body too. If you are handy, pop the intake off the throttle body and look in with a mirror (due to it facing the firewall). Bet it is pretty nasty with the way these things eat oil, especially being a '13.
 
I just watched a video on it. Does not look fun. Doable, but not fun. At least it’s not like some Subaru models where you need to disconnect the motor mounts and raise the motor 🤦
Now I’m missing Jeep life 🤪
Changed them on my '14 3 times. It's not bad if you have an assortment of extensions of different lengths. Did not have to remove the battery but on the passenger side, removing the airbox makes things a lot easier.
