Default wtf? what is wrong here

well, i've been having problems with my car lately. it has been running very bad. one day it started missing like crazy. so, i checked the valve springs and they were fine. then i checked the spark plugs and low and behold the entire passenger side of plugs was very black. so, i figured that was my problem and i replaced the plugs. it seemed wierd to me since i only had about 2k on them but i did drive for a while with the car untuned, so i thought that could be it. well, that did not really fix my problem. the car runs better, as in it acutally is firing (but probably won't be for long), but my computer is going crazy. my 02 readings (acording to autotap) are all over the place and my ltrims are too. i have no idea what is wrong here. does it sound like an o2 sensor? the 02 sensors only have 12k miles on them. maybe someone can look at my autotap files and help me figure it out. i just want my car to run right again, help!

also, which side is bank 1 and which side is bank 2? it seems like bank 2 is more messed up?

I would suspect either an O2 problem or an exhaust leak near the O2 sensor (around the collector.)
