That's it. I knew a girl in Austria that, at first glance, though FTW was the reverse of WTF, lol.


How about IAC: Intake Air Control

That's the one I have the most trouble with on my car, so I was surprised it wasn't in the list.

I am trying to remember some of the other ones, like VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) which I had to replace on my 95 SE.

Haha, well no, I mean I suppose you could try to get FTW to be something like F the world, but I am not sure how many people would take to it. No, my friend thought it means 'F*** the what' which didn't make any sense, but it sounds funny.
