Acronyms? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

There are a lot of acronyms in the "automotive world". Especially the tuning an engine discussions. Would any one care to make a comprehensive list of them. not looking for 1 here and 2 there. but a big list. I'm sure I'm not the only one lost in all this.

LS3, L99, and LLT are just internal GM engine codes. They have no meaning.

KEEP RT · 01-25-2011, 06:30 PM

Thank you but not what I mean. Not talking about texting or blog text but car (mainly engine and tuning) acronyms.

*Milk 1027* · 01-25-2011, 06:36 PM

You want to give me examples, so I can help?

KEEP RT · 01-25-2011, 06:44 PM

ECM, IAT, MAF, The list goes on and on. Thank you for your support, AND I'm looking for a long and comprehensive list not just these.

Just be glad you aren't in aviation. Oh geez.

I was in the Air Force for 6 years. That close enough.

Dion_1969 · 01-25-2011, 08:23 PM

I just google them when I run across ones I don't know.
MAF= mass air flow sensor
ECM= electronic control module
IAT= intake air temp
PCV= Positive crankcase ventilation.

For tuning acronyms look at www.hptuners.com .

A lot here http://www.hptuners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9552
and http://www.ls1tech.com/acronyms.html

ECM = Electronic or Engine Control Module
TCM = Transmission Control Module
BCM = Body Control Module
PCM = Powertrain Control Module (Essentially combines ECM and TCM into one)

Thanks IndeedSS1,
between these three links I'd believe most all are covered. I wish they were in the Wiki for quick reference.
Thanks again

Ummm... I think you can edit the Wiki. That's why there is a Wiki for this site.

AFM: active fuel management (in V8 the automatics... switches the car to 4 cylinders when cruising)
