P0153=Upstream Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S 21) circuit slow response (Bank #2).
P1151=Lack of upstream Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S 21) switch, sensor indicates lean (Bank #2).
B2 must be bank #2.

I suppoused it was from bank 2, I just have the doubt of where in the car is the bank 2,
I know that there are 4 sensors, and I do not want to replace one that is working fine,
Additionally, Are the three sensor the same?,
If I bought it I just buy an oxygen sensor for contour 98 duratec? or OD I have to specify which one?

Last but not least, it is worth noting there are actually four sensors: upstream and downstream for each of the two cylinder banks. They are called HO2Sxy, where x indicated the cylinder bank number (bank 1 is closer to the firewall), and y indicates upstream (1) or downstream (2). HO2S11 seems to be the most frequently-mentioned of them all (I replaced mine last year; there's a wealth of info available via Search).
Additionally, Are the three sensor the same?, If I bought it I just buy an oxygen sensor for contour 98 duratec? or do I have to specify which one? I believe that the front two sensors are a little different than the back two. I got the following from http://www.contour.org/cgi-ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=3&t=008139&p= To make sure you've got the right O2 sensor before you leave the store, the lower one's have a round connector and the upper is a sqaure connector. You can go to http://www.boschusa.com/AutoParts/PartFinder/PartFinder.asp for info on Bosch oxygen sensors.

Perhaps ambiguous. Upstream (front) are before catalytic in manifold, downstream (back) are after catalytic in manifold. The sensor of concern is on the exhaust manifold behind rad and to the right of oil filter. It is possible to change without an O2 sensor socket by using an open end wrench.
