Hey folks - we used to have one of these, but I cannot find it anymore. Methinks it was eaten by the server crash, so, it's time to fire it up again.

Post or PM your input and I'll add it to the list in the first post. Eventually, we'll copy it into a thread in the Info forum.

AFM=Air Flow Meter
MAF=Mass Air Flow meter
MAFT=Mass Air Flow Translator
ISC=Idle Speed Controller
PCV=Positive Crankcase Ventilation
SST=Special Service Tool
