Abbreviation input requested!
At Phantom'* request, I'd like everyone'* input on the abbreviations we use around here. I'll compile the list and post it in Techinfo as a sort of glossary. When you post your suggestions, post the abbreviation and the definition for those who don't know!
Example: TPS= Throttle Position Sensor or PITA= Pain in the ***.
Got it? Go for it. I want this thread to hit 5 pages!
