Passenger Side Runs Bad

After driving for a little while and the car gets heated up. My passenger side exhaust will pop and shake (I have true duals that dont intersect) the driver side looks good though. The car doesnt feel as fast as it should. I'm leaning towards possibly a bad wire but I'm not sure. Any ideas?

Re: Passenger Side Runs Bad

Misfires and exhaust leaks could easilly cause one bank of the engine to run rich. A scan, looking at the long term fuel corrections would verify that condition. Injectors can also contribute to problems on one bank. One dirty or leaking injector is going to throw the fueling off on the entire bank, based on feedback from the O2 sensors.

A suggestion - add a "signature" with basic info about your car - year, tranny, major mods.

Re: Passenger Side Runs Bad

You can use TTS DataMaster, FreeScan or EFILive V4. You also get pcmcomm scanning software bundled with the OBD-I version of LT1_Edit:
