think about whats specific to that particular bank that could be causing out of range values to make it shut the cylinders down. o2 sensors, vacuum leak on that bank, etc. its probabaly not air mass since its only one side. its not going to be EGR either.

you can rule out your wires by swapping them left to right sides, but thats not going to change it either, your problem will still be on the right side. Myself, I'd go the route of the vac leak first.

on a rare occaision I've had the crank sensor cause a problem similar to this, but I only had it on one cylinder when I would get on it hard (on an ML320). it drove me nuts trying to trace it.
