On to the next test doing 1 at a time.

One other thought; Do you or anyone on here know if there's a cam sensor for each bank? If so, hopefully they are the same on both sides so you can just swap them and see if the problem follows. If it doesn't, then it rules out the sensor, but unfortunately it doesn't necessarily rule out that circuit.
EDIT: OK, so according to this Pelican article it does have 2 cam sensors:

Looking back at your OP there's no mention that you've changed it. If I understand it right, the cam sensor tells the DME when to ground the coils for a spark, based on the cam position. Maybe if the sensor sends a weak or irregular signal the DME doesn't complete the ground properly (garbage in, garbage out). The good news is that they are in fact the same on both sides, so you can swap them to see if the problem follows. Or maybe it's the crank sensor the signals when to send spark, I don't remember. But it's probably not a bad idea to swap the cam sensors anyway if they're not too hard to reach.
