The whole tuning/modding world is littered with three letter ackronyns - here are a few to start the ball rolling

AFR : Air to Fuel Ratio
MAF : Mass Air Flow (how much air is going into the engine)

ACT : Air Charge Temp (See MAT)
AFM : Airflow Meter
AFR : Air to Fuel Ratio
CAS : Crank Angle Sensor
CHT : Cylinder Head Temp
EGT : Exhaust Gas Temp
MAF : Mass Air Flow (how much air is going into the engine)
MAP : Manifold Absolute Pressure (Air Pressure in the Inlet manifold)
MAT : Mass Air Temp (Temp of air in inlet Manifold)


I could do some more but I will let others have a shot :lol:
