I had dragged another thread off-topic by asking about my problem of several cylinders running rich. Here's the history so far, and the following posts are new information.
Thanks to everyone for their help.
After I wrote the question I also thought I should check the coil pack because the rich-running cylinders are adjacent to one another.

ChampionWhich spark plugs are you using?
I didn't know whether the engine controller looked at the Bank 1 O2 to adjust the fuel/air ratio of cylinders 1-3 and the Bank 2 O2 sensor for cylinders 4-6, or just lumped them together to adjust the ratio for the whole engine.Replace them with NGK. 00+ engine really like the NGKs better.
On teh cali emission package with 4 O2 sensors they trim the banks based on the O2 sensors for each bank.

thats not how the coil pack works. The coils aren't firing plugs next to each other. One coil fires 1 & 6 at the same time, 2&5 at the same time and 3&4 at the same time. If they are adjacent to each other its probably the O2 sensor or something fuel related.
