In a method and device for controlling an internal combustion engine, the fuel quantity injected into the combustion chambers of the internal combustion engine and/or the start of pump delivery are determined by means of a pressure sensor. In so doing, a duration-of-pump-delivery signal, which represents a measure for the injected fuel quantity, is predefined on the basis of a start-of-pump-delivery signal and an end-of-pump-delivery signal. The start-of-pump-delivery signal and/or the end-of-pump-delivery signal are recognized as being plausible when the duration-of-pump-delivery signal is greater than a first threshold value.

Method and device for controlling an internal combustion engine

A method and apparatus regulate and control the running smoothness of an internal combustion engine. Based on the existing operating conditions, either a running-smoothness regulation or a running-smoothness control is performed. If the vibrational frequency of the engine or the system deviation thereof reaches a threshold value, or if the absolute value of the system deviation is greater than the threshold value, then the running-smoothness regulation is ceased.
