I would just replace one bank (two sensors) at a time.

P0140 indicates the rear 02 sensor. If you have anywhere near 100k miles, replace your 02 sensors. The regained mpg and performace is well worth it. They are one of the few parts I replace without testing. They'll get real lazy before quiting, and it's a gradual process you wont really notice. The rear 02 sensor has notihng to do with performance/mpg though. A fault from it usually indicates your front 02 sensors are starting to get tired and cant tell the ecm what the conditions are and adjust accordingly quick enough. Definately test the KS before replacing it as it is a part that either works, or doesnt. There is no gray area for it's operation unless you over/under tq. the bolt that holds it to the engine.

Look a few threads down or search. It was just talked about (how to test it.) The only difference in 02 sensors is if it has the original wiring harness plug to attatch to your car, or if it's a universal splice in. For $35, it's got to be universal. It's not a big deal, just cut the plug off your old 02 sensor and splice/weld to the new 02 sensor wiring to it. As far as brand, they are probably all about the same. I would stay away from the Ebay "no name" one's though. They might be just as good, but I wouldn't chance it myself. I used http://www.oxygensensors.com/ when I got mine. They had the OEM style harness plug. Can't remember what I paid though.
