The "carbon" out of the exhaust is just black exhaust from running extremely rich from the one bank (cylinders 1, 3, 5, 7...these should be the driver's side bank). Really sounds like you have the fuel system working with the injectors putting gas in the cylinders but no ignition on that side. I looked through the wiring diagrams and I don't see a condition where broken wire would disable 1, 3, 5, 7 ignition coils only without affecting the other bank.
There is a chance the problem is not isolated to just the one side. The camshaft position sensor is kind of the nerve center of the fuel and ignition (acts like a distributor). I would check it (think it's on the passenger side front head). Always trace the wires for breaks and check the connectors first, then maybe try replacing it (they are only around $25.......and if it doesn't work take it back).
