    There's also

    - TCCS = Toyota Computer Control System
    - Numbering stickers they used on rocker covers to indicate gearbox and engine type "4A M/T = 4A engine, manual transmission"
    - SR = Super Responsive (I don't know what actual part of the engine made it so, 4A-C engine got this badge as well as 4A-F* engines but the 4A-GE didn't)
    - SST = Special Service Tool

    [EDIT: Should have read Cuts' post closer - doh!]

    This thread is a biggie:
    http://www.toymods.net/forums/showthread.php?t=8671

    The abbreviation thing has been done already.
    One thing that is important is getting the case (big/small letters) of units correct, as already mentioned by Slim.

    If you are measuring the resistance of a motor winding coil there is a hell of a difference between a mohm and a Mohm.

    (milliohm and megaohm)

    It is unfortunate that we can't have both lists rolled up into one (with corrections eg. kW).
