You're saying that the passenger side plugs are black due to richness and not the other side? Id suspect a leaking injector, but that's just a first thought.

Since you do not have a C5 that you can get the codes from the dash, time to find a scanner and see if you have any codes dealing with rich or lean fuel on one side or the other. The O2 sensors will pick this up and you have codes.
