A method for operating an internal combustion engine includes evaluating a variable which represents the load of the engine. This variable is determined from a torque value measured at an output shaft of the engine. The invention is also directed to an arrangement for operating the engine.

Method and arrangement for operating an internal combustion engine

The invention is directed to an intake apparatus for an internal combustion engine with the apparatus including an intake pipe defining a longitudinal axis and a throttle flap mounted on the intake pipe, the throttle flap including a shaft having a shaft radius (r), a throttle flap having a thickness (t) and being mounted on the shaft to be rotatable through a displacement angle, and the shaft having a diameter (2r) greater than the thickness (t); a potentiometer operatively connected to the throttle flap for detecting the displacement angle thereof; a full-load stop for fixing the displacement angle of the flap at full load; the throttle flap being adjusted to a stop angle AW of the throttle flap by impacting on the full-load stop pursuant to the relationship:
