Trouble code P1151 sets if the air/fuel ratio is out of range lean. Vacuum leaks in the intake are a typical cause but if the fault is not found there, there are actually quite a few potential trouble spots including: the oxygen sensor itself is faulty (the O2 sensor can be readily tested), fuel pressure is out of range, the MAF sensor is dirty/defective, there is a leaking fuel injector or fuel pressure regulator, and/or the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is defective (rare, though). To resolve this, the recommended service is a check engine light diagnostic. I would start with that basic check engine light diagnostic and the mechanic will advise you from there, based on his or her findings.
