Have you made any progress with this problem yet.I am chasing the same issue.I am thinking about dropping the exaust to see if I am getting air out of both banks.If these cars had true dual exaust this would be easy to troubleshoot by blowing air and smoke into the secondary air injection pipe going into the cyl block on the rt side. good luck john.....................
