T'would be cool for some Vanagon knowlegable person to put together a
list of Vanagon specific acronyms used on this list.

TB - throttle body
TPS - throttle position switch
PO - previous owner
POV - previously owned vanagon (vehicle)
ISV - idle stabilizer valve
ISC - Idle stabilizer control (box forward of right hand tail light)

and others.

I'm sure such a listing would help many and particularly Newbies as they
come aboard.

Just my 2 shekels this fine Autumn morning.
