Question what is all this lingo??

i dont want to appear like a complete gimp and i try and hold my own but im findingit hard keeping up with abbreviations and acronyms on the forums..

i can just about cope with BS (boost sensor), TPS (throttle position sensor) and WTF (duh) ,
when i see 'rats nest removed'
(jimmys car spec??) and occasionally beyond all understanding

could we have a list of abbreviations somewhere perhaps???for the other confused people out there???

express an opinion folks, thats what these forums are for......

There are other threads with the abbreviations defined, but if you have any more, just post them here, and I'm sure they'll be answered quickly.

Actually, that usually means bullshit...

This page should answer all your questions about acronyms.

Or it could be the aftermarket stereo wiring that someone tried to install when they thought they would save themselves some money doing it theirself, leaving unfused wires to burn through the carpeting and crap like that.
