Abstract
A device for regulating an internal combustion engine in a motor vehicle is provided with an electrical desired-value transmitter adjustable between an idling position and a full-load position, an actuator, and a regulating member coupled mechanically to the actuator. The set position of the desired-value transmitter is transmissible to the actuator via an electrical transmission circuit via which signals can be entered from further regulating variables; and also to the regulating member via a mechanical transmission member of variable length which can be connected to the desired-value transmitter via a connecting lever. So that this regulating device can be installed with the least possible changes in a vehicle without impairing its emergency running properties and the input of further regulating variables, a drag lever is provided that connects the accelerator pedal to the desired-value transmitter. The connecting lever can be dragged along with the drag lever during the adjustment of the drag lever in the direction of full load. Between the full-load position and the particular position of the drag lever, the connecting lever is adjustable independently of the drag lever. A signal output for activating the power transmission between the internal combustion engine and the vehicle drive is connected to the connecting lever.
