How about a little terms definitions? (newbie Q?)

[workin4my350]

Hey all,

I know this is a stupid suggestion, but what about a thread titled TERMS? I have a hard time following sometimes. I have been a lurker for a bit,and just joined up. I want to do all the standard maint. and want to do a few things to the rig.

It would be nice for a mod, or member to add a terms log for different terms, it would be super nice to be able to have tech links for tips too?

Just throwing this out there. We are not all techs, or full time pullers whom know it all.

New guy,so please dont shoot me dead too soon.

So you mean acronyms like HPOP and VGT?

[workin4my350]

exactly I have a hard time following,and spend too much wasted time looking up these terms and then trying to follow along.

I hate showing my ignorance, but a little pic, and answers to what these acronyms are would be great for the new guys how only know little.

There is a list around here somewhere?
Looking for it.

i think is is a great idea and have thought of it myself. I pretty new to diesels and get confused as well.

HPOP is High Pressure Oil Pump
ICP is the Injector Controll Pressure Sensor
IPR is the Injector Pressure Regulator (high pressure oil regulator)
FICM is Fuel injector controll module (6.0)
IDM is Injector driver module (7.3)
PCM is Powertrain controll module
LOF is Lube, Oil, Filter
CMP or CPS (cmp is the dealer term, cps is the forum term for some reason) is Camshaft position sensor
UVCH is under valve cover harness (7.3)
Y pipe is the pipe at the back of the motor, that comes off the exhaust manifolds to feed the turbo
MAP sensor is manifold absolute pressure sensor, how the PCM knows boost levels. It is Boost+atmospheric pressure
MGP is manifold gauge pressure, or true boost (MAP-atmospheric pressure)
EOT sensor is Engine oil temp sensor
EGT is Exhaust gas temp (never a factory sensor)
ECT sensor is Engine coolant temp sensor
H2o pump is water pump
P/S is powersteering
IAT is Intake air temp sensor
IAH is intake air heater
CAC is Charge air cooler. A CAC tube is either tube that runs from the intercooler to the motor
Rad is Radiator
CCV is crancase ventalation
Degas bottle is the coolant bottle on a 7.3 or 6.0 where the radiator cap is on the bottle and not the radiator
APP is acelerater pedal position
ABS is antilock brake system
SRS is suplimental restraint system (air bags)
OD or O/D is overdrive
EGR is exhaust gas recirculation (6.0 and 6.4 only). It consists of a valve, and cooler(s)
WOT is Wide open throttle, or pedal to the metal
