A method is provided for controlling an internal combustion engine as a function of an expected value of a temperature of a component of an exhaust gas system, route data of an expectable driving route being assigned values of exhaust gas temperatures. The method is characterized in that the route data are assigned engine operating data which are expectable when passing through the expectable driving route and in that a first exhaust gas temperature expected value is computed and assigned to a route section, in that the route is subdivided into characterizable route sections, in that each of these route sections is assigned a predetermined second exhaust gas temperature expected value which is based on at least one exhaust gas temperature value measured at an earlier point in time, and in that the expected value of the temperature of the component is formed on the basis of linking the first exhaust gas temperature expected value to the second exhaust gas temperature expected value.

In an internal combustion engine, at least one rotation variable characterizing the rotational movement of a crankshaft is ascertained cylinder-specifically. It is provided that, in an operating state in which differences and/or fluctuations of the rotation variable are basically a function of a combustion position, the instant of a fuel injection is adapted cylinder-specifically in order to reduce the differences and or fluctuations.

A method for operating an internal combustion engine, particularly of a motor vehicle. The internal combustion engine has a combustion chamber and an injection valve by which fuel is able to be supplied to the combustion chamber, directly or via an intake manifold. In the method, a maximum combustion chamber pressure and a signal for a start of the injection of fuel is determined, and the signal for the start of injection is influenced as a function of the maximum combustion chamber pressure. A signal for an injection duration of fuel is determined and influenced as a function of the maximum combustion chamber pressure.
