Uncalled for, I wouldn't have taken the high road. I use only basic diagnostic stuff and get along just fine and my bet is I am part of the majority. I do all my own work and would have to spend a week figuring out how to check all that stuff. You don't need to spend thousands of dollars on equipment to do some troubleshooting.
As an example, it doesn't always work but you can spray carb fluid or propane around hoses and intake and if it reaches a vacuum leak the idle will momentarily change. Key here is it is only one bank so it already narrowed down some.
Let's back up. Put the codes aside. What are the symptoms? Rough idle, poor acceleration, hard start etc. ? How long has it been going on? Has it been getting worse. Were the codes there before you did the work you mentioned?
