Replaced them both yesterday along with the OXS for a 5.0L Ford and
the car is running great.   

Thanks to Tony for the suggestion on using the sensors for the 5000.
The wires are longer, but not a big deal.
I took the excess wire up and over the heater hose and then back
down to the connectors. Should last another 15 years :)

The sensors were as follows:
1988 AUDI 5000 CS 2.2L 2226cc L5 FI Turbo STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS
PC491 $73.99 
Came in a "Standard Motor Products" box.  Part appears to be an Audi
part complete with part# and the Audi rings.

I grounded the OXS sensor to a bolt on the back of the block that
holds the wire harness clamp just in front of the throttle linkage.
Seems like a good ground.  I know this has been discussed at length,
but I must be google-impaired.

Jeff
