Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007144253A1] The invention relates to a method for operating an internal combustion engine, having the steps: (a) during an overrun phase of the internal combustion engine, activating an injector of a first combustion chamber for a predetermined activation time t<SUB>inj</SUB> with a predetermined activation voltage U<SUB>i=1</SUB>, (b) measuring a torque variation, (c) determining, from the torque variation, a fuel quantity m<SUB>i=1</SUB> of the fuel injected by the injector during the activation time t<SUB>inj</SUB>, (d) varying the activation voltage to a value U<SUB>i+1</SUB> which differs from U<SUB>i</SUB>, (e) repeating steps (a) to (d) with further incrementation of i until i has reached a preset value N or the internal combustion engine is no longer in the overrun phase, and (f) determining an injector characteristic value of the injector of the first combustion chamber from the fuel quantities m<SUB>1</SUB>, m<SUB>2</SUB>,..., m<SUB>N</SUB> and the activation voltages U<SUB>1</SUB>, U<SUB>2</SUB>,..., U<SUB>N</SUB>.
