A method and apparatus controls the temperature of a precision resistor and, in turn, measures the flow rate of a flowing fluid mass. The precision resistor is a hot wire or hot film of an air mass meter of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle. Through timed current flow, the operating temperature of the precision resistor is maintained at a higher temperature than the temperature of the flowing fluid mass. The timing of the electric current for maintaining the operating temperature of the precision resistor is controlled based on the magnitude of the gating voltage supplied to heat the precision resistor.
