Abstract
In a method for controlling an internal combustion engine () for a motor vehicle in stop-start operation, the internal combustion engine () is operated in the idling operating state. If there is a request for switch-off of the internal combustion engine () the torque produced by the internal combustion engine () is reduced while fuel continues to be injected. The fuel injection is switched off if the speed of the internal combustion engine () reaches a predetermined minimum value. The torque produced by the internal combustion engine () is increased again if the request for switching off the internal combustion engine () is canceled before the minimum speed is reached.
