More help please?

Hello again folks

well, had the car (97 Cerb 4.2)a couple of weeks now but, due to a combination of bad weather, work, family illness etc I still havent got to the bottom of the poor running issue.
Have got software (thanks Dave!!) but not been able to use that yet - in the meantime when i got a spare moment i decided to fit my de-cats, and in the process i removed the lambdas and cleaned and thoroughly dried them.
Put it all back together and fired her up - still the same!
Noticed while checking for exhaust leaks that only one exhaust pipe was heating up and emitting fumes - the other just blowing out mildly warm clear air?
Dont know if all this is any help to any one to point me in the right direction - I just dont have the know-how/ time/ near-by facilities at the moment to deal with it properly and want to rule out/check as much as i am able till i can...

Cheers for any pointers!

Mine does that too on initial warm-up. Only condensation from the offside bank, but roughly equal air pressuse coming from both pipes. Never really thought too much about it - perhaps that's the side the crank-case breather vents to???

How come you haven't been able to use the software? Its all you need to solve poor running problems!

Just an equipment/know how thing - I will get there, but looking for obvious clues at the minute...
