Why would one bank run lean?? I've noticed hesitation during part throttle acceleration. Looking at the wideband it appears that bank 2 is running lean (16-18+AFR) during this time. Here's the kicker...it only does this from 2000-2100 or so RPMs.
I'm thinking, either I'm losing fuel at that point or I'm getting an air leak. I swapped the injectors from side to side, to eliminate them. Can't figure out how an air leak could come and go.....ideas???

The only thing I can think of, is the cam sensor. A few important functions of the cam sensor:
detect misfires
determine which half of the engine's firing sequence is currently in operation

determine which half of the engine's firing sequence is currently in operation

I'm thinking it's a leak, but what leak can come and go at a specific RPM?

OK, figured out that I've got a leak on the passenger side intake. Now the question is, how to fix it? I've already tried replacing the intake gaskets (both sides) with new ones. Re-checked the torque also. I'm wondering if I've somehow got a warped intake on that side.
BTW, it's a maggie (intake is part of the blower) so getting a new intake could be a costly proposition.
