A method for controlling an internal combustion engine, in which, based on a rail pressure signal, a first characteristic variable is specified that indicates a misfire, a misfire being recognized when the rail pressure signal does not have the expected curve.

Method for controlling an internal combustion engine

A method for operating an internal combustion engine is provided in which fuel is withdrawn from a high-pressure accumulator and injected into a combustion chamber of at least one cylinder of the internal combustion engine, the method including the steps of detecting under conditions of angular synchronism a pressure of the fuel in the high-pressure accumulator during a first injection into the at least one cylinder and during a later, second injection into the at least one cylinder; ascertaining a gradient of the detected pressure; ascertaining a frequency-transformed spectrum of the detected pressure and a frequency-transformed spectrum of the ascertained gradient; correcting the frequency-transformed spectrum of the detected pressure by the frequency-transformed spectrum of the ascertained gradient; and ascertaining a cylinder-individual injection quantity of fuel, which was injected into the at least one cylinder, from the corrected frequency-transformed spectrum of the detected pressure.
