I'm impressed, of the answers provided, on 2 are incorrect. NOx is oxides
of nitrogen,which is not the same as nitrous oxide. TVIS is Toyota variable
induction system.

For someone who doesn't look at that stuff every[color=blue][color=green]

An OBD II scan tool or W55 transmission 5th gear puller. The cleverest tool
I saw was an oil pan FIPG (freebie - formed-in-place gasket) seal cutter

I was thinking the same thing, only about teaching: TST, CST, CSE, NYSTRS,
NYSTA (obsolete), NYSUT, AFT, NEA, IEP, 504, AIS, PEP (obsolete), BOCES, PTA
or PTO, AD/HD, ESL, LD, OHI, PSAT, SAT, GED, OT, PT, NCLB, PDD.... and on &
on... They just keep multiplying.
