Abstract

In a method for cylinder equalization of a lambda-controlled internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, cylinders to be tested are trimmed with respect to the mixture composition of metered fuel, and the cylinder equalization is carried out on the basis of an uneven running or uneven running change of the internal combustion engine caused by the trimming. In addition, the uneven running or uneven running change is detected in a reference state of the internal combustion engine. The uneven runnings or uneven running changes detected during successive trimmings of the cylinders to be tested are and compared to the uneven running values detected in the reference state.
