misfire
have a 93 convertible. has a misfire so i ran the codes, code 53 came back and that means o2 sensor with possible things being wrong harness/connectors, o2 sensor, fuel pressure, injectors, intake air leaks. what would be the most probable thing causing the miss?

Test the injectors - should be 10-14ohms. I think your 93 vert has the newer style injectors, so it's probably not the most likely culprit, but it's still possible.
And why are you asking for the most probable cause? Almost all of those things are testable... test the resistance of the injectors (10-14 ohms), connect a pressure gauge to test the fuel pressure (~44psi at idle), O2 sensors can be monitored with a scanner (they should cycle rich to lean about once per second), air leaks can be listened for, wiring can be tested for continuity. Get to work.
