Abstract
An internal combustion engine ( ), especially for a motor vehicle, is described, which has a combustion chamber ( ) into which fuel can be injected in at least two operating modes. Each of the injections has an injection start angle and an injection duration. Furthermore, a control apparatus is provided for control (open loop and/or closed loop). An injection end angle can be determined by the control apparatus ( ) from the injection start angle and the injection duration. Likewise, a check can be made by the control apparatus ( ) as to whether an injection interrupt angle is exceeded by the injection end angle.
