Forum Dictionary - Acronyms

Robb · 05-09-2002, 09:00 PM

I just wanted to start a thread listing the common acronyms, abbreviations, and slang used on this forum to use as a reference in the future. I have run into 3 in the past two days that have left me confused (including CYA, and Hootus). If you know of any, please list them here. I'll start with the most common ones:

X - Ford Explorer
EB - Eddie Bauer Edition X
IAC - Idle Air Control Valve
TPS - Throttle Position Sensor
WOT - Wide Open Throttle
1st Generation - 1991-1994
2nd Generation - 1995 -
