Question Translate engine sensor initials

Can anyone translate the following engine sensor initials. I read great ideas in this forum, but have no idea sometimes what people are talking about.
What is a MAP sensor? An IAC sensor? TPS? TPI?
Your help is appreciated by a guy with a manual that doesn't seem to list these. Thanks.

Thank you, powersmoked, for your explanation of the sensors. I created a vehicle profile at your suggestion.
