That’s a Pittsburgh thing:

“ Need , want , or like + past participle”: [6] [7] [56] Examples of this include “The car needs washed”, “The cat wants petted”, and “Babies like cuddled”. More common constructions are “The grass needs cutting” or “The grass needs to be cut” or “Babies like cuddling” or “Babies like to be cuddled”; “The car needs washing” or “The car needs to be washed”; and “The cat wants petting” or “The cat wants to be petted.” Found predominantly in the North Midland region, this is especially common in southwestern Pennsylvania (Murray, Frazer and Simon 1996; Murray and Simon 1999; Murray and Simon 2002). Need + past participle is the most common construction, followed by want + past participle, and then like + past participle. The forms are “implicationally related” to one another (Murray and Simon 2002). This means the existence of a less common construction from the list in a given location entails the existence of the more common ones there, but not vice versa. The constructions “ like + past participle” and “ need + past participle” are Scots-Irish (Murray, Frazer, and Simon 1996; Murray and Simon 1999; Montgomery 2001; Murray and Simon 2002). While Adams [55] argues that “ want + past participle” could be from Scots-Irish or German, it seems likely that this construction is Scots-Irish, as Murray and Simon (1999 and 2002) claim. like and need + past participle are Scots-Irish, the distributions of all three constructions are implicationally related, the area where they are predominantly found is most heavily influenced by Scots-Irish, and a related construction, “ want + directional adverb”, as in “The cat wants out”, is Scots-Irish. [28] [51]

Given the supposed Scots-Irish origin, I suppose it could also pop up elsewhere due to that.

One that actual car people might misspell is “guibo” instead of “giubo” — it’s short for “giunto Boschi”.

Acro nyms l ike “CPS”, which does NOT stand for “crankshaft position sensor” , nor does it stand for “ camshaft position sensor” . Those are actually CKP and CMP , respectively.

And nope , “CPS” doesn’t stand for “clutch pedal switch” either. It’s CPP : Clutch Pedal Position (switch).
