Method and device for controlling a multicylinder internal combustion engine
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a multicylinder internal combustion engine, a cylinder equalization control being carried out for adjusting cylinder-specific torque contributions to the overall torque of the internal combustion engine, wherein the functioning of the cylinder-equalization control is monitored, and, in response to disturbances in the area of the cylinder-equalization control, at least one error signal is generated, indicating the existence of a disturbance.
