abbreviations.........
Yeah, I'm not real sure what all the sensor plugs and monitors mean ? 
PCM for example. Air flow sensor ?
So maybe a list of some of these sensors for us people who ride the short
bus to school
Thanks.

PCM = Power-train Control Module (Located in your stock air box)
IAT Sensor = Intake Air Temperature Sensor (Sensor on your intake tube)
---- In the Throttle Body (3800 Series)----
IAC Valve = Idle Air Control Valve
MAF Sensor = Mass Air-Flow Sensor
TPS = Throttle Position Sensor
-------------------------------
PCV Valve = Positive Crankcase Ventilation Valve (Located on the passenger side of UIM)
UIM = Upper Intake Manifold
LIM = Lower Intake Manifold
Plog = PowerLog (ZZP's solution to restrictive Front Exhaust Manifold)
PEMs = Ported Exhaust Manifolds
