it could be stock open fuel injector on bank 1 which keep sprays fuel even dont have too and make o2 reading rich with extra fuel.
first check fuel pressure with engine running, gauge should be stable mine gives around 52psi on run and stable gauge than shut of engine with key on still mine gives 40psi and leave the gauge hooked up little while look for a pressure drops.If you have bad injector or "s" you will notice unstable gauge and huge pressure drops on fuel system. if it does drops and unstable gauge readings.
Disconnect all injectors electrical connectors and get ohms readings with dwom no matter manufactory specs reading on injectors usually give you very close readings except bad ones!!
