1st time i looked at v6 codes, then for some reason pulled up v8 codes

So i swapped the o2 sensors around and bridged the ports and got this 12- System pass ok
44- RH oxygen sensor lean (o2)
76- air/fuel ratio variation between left and right banks
There has been no change to how rich it runs

VS Acclaim V6
So O2 sensors changed and pink wire cut.

Are the injectors new or serviced? Reputable brand or ebay specials?

then run it for a day or so
and then see what comes back
