:nono: Why is it that I look through this forum everybody is abbreviating everthing. It would be more help to new a newcomer the everthing be spelled out. I'm not and idiot, but somethings are just better if they are spelled in full. What the heck is a CAS?:confused: , CEL?WTF Mybe this is a stupid question, but spell this stuff out for pete sake.:cry:
 
Its cool man you will learn after a while. CAS=Cam Angle Sensor, CEL=Check Engine Light. I see your out of denver good to see more rocky mountain DSM'rs out there.
 
If you hang out here long enough responding to posts, you'll start using them just to save on typing. It's sooooo much easier to type, "MBC" than "manual boost controller". Another doozy is "positive crankcase ventilation" or PCV.

I have to drive half a mile downhill to get to the mile high city ;).

I like Mitsubishii's IMPDS "Intake Manifold Pressure Differential Sensor", or MAP "Manifold Absolute Pressure" sensor as it's usually called here. Stick around, keep reading and your TLA* vocabulary will increase.

*Three Letter Acronym
 
I don't even know what half of them areLOL , I just now what they do.
 
T&A: Tits and A..

Oh, wait, nevermind

SMIM- Sheet Metal Intak Manifold
SMIC- Side Mount Intercooler

You will learn!! :)
 
Thanks for all the help, I guess I'm just a typer. I have had great help just reading this forum.
 
You can find a glossary of commonly used abbreviations here in the FAQ section, which you read before posting, right?

Although confusing at first, proper use of common abreviations actually makes searching easier. With the way we spell around here, you are much more likely to find useful info when searching for CHRA rather than Center Houseing Rotating Asembly.
 
yeah, i always knew FTW to mean F*ck The World

IDB
FV
