Abstract (en)

A method in an internal combustion engine is presented. Controllable valves and controllable air and fuel input means are provided at each cylinder. The method includes controlling the valves and the air and fuel input means so that a transition is made from a first stroke mode to a second stroke mode. In the first and second stroke mode the crankshaft rotates a first and a second angular distance, respectively, between two consecutive ignitions of the engine. At least one transition combustion load at or near the transition is controlled, the transition combustion load being determined at least partly on the basis of the first and/or the second angular distance. <IMAGE>
