Likely 02 sensors or a strange fuel control problem. With one side running rich and the other lean, that's pretty strange.

Bob will probably have a more detailed response. It's not likely to be the MAF, as it affects both sides equally and in the same direction generally. It can be O2 sensors, injectors, PCM, ignition and so on that cause that. If you're not getting misfire codes, that's probably pointing to the 02 sensors I think.

I would suspect the O2 sensors on one of the exhaust manifolds. Check em both or just replace em both. It's prolly a good idea anyway.
