Go to www.audifans.com and enter "ford v8 o2 sensor" into the search 
box. You'll get a lot of hits.

For a no-start, there could be lots of reasons, but we'd need to know 
more. Does the starter spin, or is it just a click? Does the starter 
turn the engine over? Does it turn the engine over slowly, or normally? 
Etc. I wrote up a no-start procedure for the Knowledgebase, but it seems 
to be down.

You should get a generic OBD-II diagnostic code reader.  That'll tell 
about any trouble codes, which you can then look up on-line.  A better 
but more expensive option is VCDS from www.ross-tech.com. (It used to be 
called VAG-COM.) That'll do a whole lot more than a generic reader.

P.S. I CC'd the list, to keep the thread going.
