Hi everyone, this forum is fantastic and has been providing me with a heap of information to help me with my T. But there is one problem - I am not familiar with a lot of the jargon and abbreviations which are used in the posts and I find this very frustrating especially when the key word is something like

SSS N/A PCM ECU SWAMBO

It would be a temendous help to me, and I suspect to many others who read these forums, to have a glossary of terms or a list of explanations somewhere on the site which could easily be referred to.

Is there anyone else out there who also has this problem?

Vic-XRT,

Welcome to the site Vic, enjoy the place and have some fun while your at it.

Not very technically minded myself and like you, I don't always understand all the acronyms. I do know of a couple that could come in handy for you though:

SWMBO: She Who Must Be Obeyed

HgAg: Mercury Silver (the BEST BA colour)

FTS: Falchoon Talks sh*t

CDLG: Cro Drives Like a Girl

I'm sure there's going to be more but that should start you off ...

SSS is the sequential auto.

N/A is for naturally aspirated ie non turbo

ECU is the cars computer

as for the rest I dont know

while we are on topic what is IMO ?

SSS = Sequential Sports Shift. Ford speak for an automatic

N/A = Naturally Aspirated. ie no turbo

PCM / ECU = Powertrain Control Unit / Electronic Control Unit. The computers that make the car work (or not).

Owna, you beat me to it!

IMO - In My Opinion

IMHO - In My Humble Opinion

I always thought it was "either I do"

SSS sport shift sequential (auto gearbox)

PCM dunno specifically, but I think programmable computer module.

e.g: you can get your PCM reflashed

PCM - Powertrain control module
