acronym page?

Hi to all! I have been reading for several days and registered minutes ago. The stories are very interesting and helpful. One thing that would help newbies is a sticky acronym page.
I read several posts about the bad DME but can't find what a DME is. I looked through 165 definitions in a general dictionary but none were close to what this part is. If there already is one tell me where is is. Thanks.

Of course DME is not strictly an acronym.

To be an acronym the initial letters for the term should form a Word.

Hence OPEC is an acronym as is WAC but DME isn't.

A list of TLA's would, however, be useful

You should add a signature to your account that lists your car & year. As previously stated DME = digital motor electronics (i.e., computer brain). But, depending on your car, you might not have one. CIS cars and earlier do not have a DME.
