International ClassesF02D 041/34F02P 005/15 Foreign Application Priority Data1996-05-10 DEAbstractA method and an arrangement for controlling an internal combustion engine of a vehicle wherein a desired torque value is pregiven, this desired torque value being separated into at least two desired values. The desired values serve to adjust the charge of the internal combustion engine and at least one further power parameter, which effects a rapid torque change. The at least two desired values assume different values at least in one operating state.Field of SearchIncluding means responsive to instantaneous change in engine speedBy electric means External load condition responsive Electrical sensing or regulating Engine speed sensing having an error signal producing circuit Cold engine control Engine output (e.g., torque, speed, horsepower) or fuel consumption optimization Including means responsive to the instantaneous change in engine speed (e.g., roughness, unstable combustion, etc.) Acceleration or deceleration responsive | |
