Abstract
The invention is directed to a method for controlling the no-load speed of an internal combustion engine wherein the position of the throttle flap in the intake tube of the engine is varied as a function of the speed of the engine and of a position signal defining the position of the throttle flap. The variation of the throttle flap position takes place, however, only whenever the throttle flap has assumed a specific, predeterminable position and whenever the engine speed has remained virtually constant over a likewise predeterminable period of time. An embodiment in the form of a flow chart is described by means of which the method according to the invention can be realized.
