Default It means that the ecu is trying to add fuel at idle or part throttle.

If it has to add or take away more then 10% I think it is, then it will throw a code. This happens if your maf is going bad, your injectors are getting plugged, bad plugs or the chip you have does not run enough fuel.

Default .

First...u need to give us a little more info...
By the "Bank 1"...u must have a V6? Right? Any mods chips, how many miles, what year?....

This means that something is not working right on the one side of the engine(3 cyl)
I don't know what it means, however, process of elimination....
The problem is only on the 1 side of the engine. U must find what sensors and how many sensors are located on each side. For example, do u have 2 fuel pressure regulators? Do u have a split fuel injection rail....
U have 2 knock sensors(1 per side)
U have 4 o2 sensors(2 per side)
U may have a leak on the exhaust manifold??
Please take note...taking shots in the dark here. I'm not familier with the V6 as much as I'm with the 1.8t....
good luck,
DG
