Is it worth having a full list of abbreviations?

thought toyotec would have a field day with this

 

fpr-fuel pressure regulator ?
pcv-pressure control valve ?
positive crankcase ventilation-mentioned in post 3

 

POV anyone?!

ATM?

 

WUR ?
GB Gearbox

 

POV - Point of View?

 

ESP electronic stability program
DTC Diagnostic Trouble code
MIL Malfunction Indicator Lamp
VIS Variable Intake System
IMRC Intake manifold runner control
HEGO Heated Exhaust Gas Oxygen sensor
UEGO Universal Exhaust Gas Oxygen sensor
PAS Power Assisted Steering
HPAS Hydraulic Power Assisted Steering
EPAS Electronic Power Assisted Steering
VG Variable Geometry (as in an advanced turbocharger)
HVAC Heating Ventilation & Air Conditioning

HTH hope that helps

p.s. I think once this has developed a little it needs compiling in alphabetical order on post number 1
