I checked the O2 data per the article suggested by TxGasRacer. The O2 sensors respond just as they should when I spray Gumout into the intake.
I discovered that previously the 2nd bank O2 sensors were not working because they were not warmed up yet. All the O2 sensors appear to be working fine.
Using this method (carb cleaner sends O2 sensors rich) I sprayed Gumout carb cleaner around the manifold and found a very small vacuum leak on my IAC valve. Will be repairing that now and rechecking. This is a very small leak on the manifold/ plenum side of the IAC. It is hard to believe it could cause this much problem.
