Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016096607A1] The invention relates to a method for operating an internal combustion engine (1, 20), in which method fuel is supplied to the internal combustion engine by means of a rotary pump (7, 9), and in which method the speed of the pump and/or the electrical current for feeding the pump (pump current) is controlled in accordance with a requirement variable, taking into account a determination specification, in particular a family of characteristics. In the event of a change of operating mode into an overrun mode, a calibration is carried out and the speed of the pump (7, 9) is detected and is maintained during the calibration step at a substantially unchanged level. Once the triggering pressure for a calibration valve (18), arranged on the high-pressure side of the pump, has been reached, the pump current is detected and the determined speed and the determined pump current are used to calibrate the determination specification. The method according to the invention permits a calibration in the overrun mode without alteration to the speed of the fuel pump. This prevents a variable behaviour of the fuel pump which might irritate the driver of a motor vehicle and produce undesired operating conditions.
