I plan on switching my IAC to GM with an adaptor but is there a specific reason why a lot of the members switch to GM water and air temp sensors? I am considering doing it but is the code more readily accessible or originally intended for one format over the other? I am making the IAC change to avoid eliminating a few circuit changes and ease of installation. I have no opinion on which is better and not stating any opinion just wondering any benefits to standardizing all my sensors.

Re: GM Sensors advantages?
Mostly because they're widely available and cheap, and the original MS1 was not easily recalibrated for anything else. EasyTherm makes that a bit easier, and the MS2 makes it really straightforward. The standard bias resistors give pretty good resolution and a couple sensor types that are way far away from GM resistance values can benefit from a bias resistor swap (Mazda RX-7s come to mind).
