Abstract (en)

Method for controlling idling in an internal combustion engine for vehicles, comprising the phases of: supervising at least one operating parameter of the engine, and correcting the quantity of air/fuel delivered to the engine as a function of the variations of the said operating parameter, in order to maintain the revolution speed of the engine essentially equivalent to a pre-established value of reference. The objective of the method is to establish an estimated value of a torque applied to the engine as a function of an angular acceleration value detected during a cycle of the internal combustion engine and to effect a correction of the quantity of air/fuel delivered to the engine as a function of the variations in the said estimated torque value. <IMAGE>
