This increase should be from 6-8 g/s at idle to greater than 380 g/s at the time of the 1-2 shift.

During Rich Idle the EGR valve is commanded ON, and a lower frequency and g/s value will be indicated on the scan tool. When engine coolant temperatures reach 60☌ (140☏) the ECM commands a Rich Idle mode.

The frequency varies in a range depending on engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor 1 of approximately 2,300 Hertz at idle to near 9,000 Hertz at maximum engine load. The sensor uses the voltage to produce a frequency based signal on the inlet airflow through the sensor bore. The ECM applies 5 volts to the MAF sensor on the MAF sensor signal circuit. A large quantity of air entering the engine indicates an acceleration or high load condition. A small quantity of air entering the engine indicates a deceleration or idle condition. The engine control module (ECM) uses the MAF sensor signal to provide the correct fuel delivery for all engine speeds and loads. The MAF sensor is an air flow meter that measures the amount of air entering the engine. The mass air flow (MAF) sensor is integrated with the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor.
