N!

maybe stomping on a dead horse here.....but..... :
If you knew ONE thing about Porsche 928's, then you'de know that your 928S2 is either a Right hand drive car from the UK market, or not a 928S2 at all
You do realize that the S2, officially was a UK only name for the UK market 928S? And even then Porsche did no use that designation anywhere.. There are no decals for it..
It's not entirely clear from your signature, you say 85 928S2
But , i doubt you sit on the right side of your car when driving.. do you?
Does the model bade in the rear actually say "928S2" ? Did it come with that badge from the factory?
So what car do you actually drive?

No S2 either when i look in PET
Didn't they unofficially call the 5.0 32 valve 928 an S3 instead of S2?
It's not that clear in your sig Norm, which one is yours, an 84 model year born in early 85.
Or an 85 model year born in late 85? ROW or US model
Very difficult , those little details, especially if people start labeling their car with a model designation that officially did not even exist for LHD cars..and even that wasn't so official.
So, not to be funny or anything, but you might wanna put some more info in your signature before you can tell folks off when they are unclear about your car having an O2 sensor or not,
at least if you want to tell them off based on the "It says so in my signature" argument.
Especially so because there actually WAS a 928 with 02 sensor in just about every model year during the 80'ies and your sig does not mention having a CAT or not, or an O2 or not.
Your sig doesn't even tell if it's a Euro 4.7 or the weaker 4.7/5.0 US car.
Quite frankly, the only thing your sig seems to tell, is that your car is no longer stock..Which means it's not about "Porsche" knowledge anymore.
Just that it's a modded car and it could have all sorts of non standard features that have nothing to do with how Porsche actually built it.
Might wanna add the engine code to your sig now.. that'll make it a whole lot more obvious for those with or without "Porsche" knowledge.
