Method for adjusting the ignition advance of an engine (2) comprising: -a curative correction procedure aimed at rapidly reducing the knocking phenomenon upon its appearance, -a mode for controlling engine torque called autonomous ignoring the driver's wil...

The engine operating process involves fuel being pumped by a preliminary supply pump in a low pressure region, and by a main supply pump in a pressure store via at least one fuel measuring device into the combustion chamber. A pressure sensor records the p...

The method involves injecting a defined amount of fuel. A correction value is determined, where the correction value is applied to a value range of an operating parameter e.g. rail pressure, of an internal combustion engine. The complete range of values of...

A method is presented for controlling torque of a powertrain (11,15) by minimising the error between the actual powertrain torque (as read by the torque sensor(121)) and the desired powertrain torque (as requested by the vehicle driver). Since torque senso...

After a cold start, the variation with time of the temperature is measured in or downstream of the catalytic converter, and a temperature plateau is determined. The measured temperature value of the plateau is compared with a value of the temperature plate...
