Does this car have cats? If so maybe one or more of the right side cats is plugged. What has been replaced, such as electronics and where did you get those parts? You might try disconnecting the right side injectors one by one or possibly two at a time. Have the injectors or ECU been replaced? Neither one likes heat, also when you melt wiring you create shorts between the wires in the harness that were burned, those shorts can damage parts that were not in the fire such as the ECU. Also make sure the O2s are hooked up properly, make sure you do not have the left and right swapped. This should not be a problem, because the ECU is not suppose to use the O2s until it goes into closed loop, which will take longer than 30 seconds to get into when the car is cold.
