P0131: O2 sensor circuit low voltage (B1S1 = Front left sensor)
P0137: O2 sensor circuit low voltage (B1S2 = Rear left sensor)
P0151: O2 sensor circuit low voltage (B2S1 = Front right sensor)
P0157: O2 sensor circuit low voltage (B2S2 = Rear right sensor)

Very common problem is the hose after your PCV valve tearing open. Check for any vacum leaks, air coming in after the MAF is then not metered and will cause your car to run lean.

Good luck, and post up what it was man.

Peace,
Craig.

hmm my experiences with unmetered air, were usually the car will run fat....considering the computer is trying to make up for the excess air that it reads in the o2s....it will dump more fuel in....as much as 14-25%, until the car throws a "running rich" code and closes it down to 2-7% until the problem is resolved.....

i wouldnt be suprised if this is a "i ported my maf" problem
