deffinitons...sticky??
okay i tried to come up w/ a idea for deffining all the flags, tables, constants etc. to make a sticky about a week ago. but the more reading i do the more i realize how in depth some of it would have to go which would take much time and space, and even some gurus have trouble getting some parts. so i decided to go this route instead these are deffinitions for abb. i have run across while studing articles and stickies trying to learn how to tune (since im a total newb) feel free to add more or deffine the few i left blank and i will edit this regularly. thanks

SA = spark advance
wot = wide open throttle
PE = power enrichment
Map = Manifold absolute pressure
esc = electronic spark control
est = electronic spark timing
vss = vehicle speed sensor
tdc = top dead center
btdc = before top dead center
atdc = after top dead center
aldl = assembly line diagnostic link
IAT = intake air temp.
IAC = idle air control
TPS = throttle position sensor
BLM = block learn multiplier (long term fuel trim)
tsa = total spark advance
K/S = knock sensor
DFCO = deceleration fuel cut off
C/L or CL = closed loop
O/L or OL = open loop
Egr = exaust gas recirculation
TCC = torque convertor clutch
AE = acceleration enrichment
VE = volumetric efficency
Kpa = kilo-pascals (metric measure of pressure for map)
DE = deceleration enleanment
AFR = air to fuel ratio
PCV = possitive crankcase ventilation
Baro = biometric pressure
CCP = charcoal canister purge
INT = integrator (short term fuel trim)
bpw = base pulse width
bpc = base pulse constant
msec = milli second .001 seconds
usec = micro second .000001 seconds
nsec = nano second .000000001 seconds
pph = pounds per hour
gps = grams per second
bsfc = brake specific fuel consumption
DC = Duty Cycle
mat = manifold air temperature
adc = analog to digital conversion?
s/d map = speed density map?
VATS = vehicle anti-theft system
mvdc = milli volts dc
TF = throttle follower
~T = inverse temperature?
~AFR = inverse afr?
CLT = closed loop correction term
since im a newb somthing like this is probably the biggest contribution i can make right to the prom board but its worth it cause im sure it may help at least one person.

Re: definitons...sticky??
you guys left out a couple that we all use at some point in learning how to tune:
SNAFU- Situation Normal All Fouled Up
FUBAR- Fouled up Beyond All Repair
maybe "fouled" isnt quite strong enough...

Re: definitons...sticky??
old thread but i thought of a couple ones that come to mind often at work
RTFM = read the f'ing manual
ID10T error condition
