Method for operating an apparatus for a fuel control system of an internal combustion engine during overrunning
First Claim
1. A method for controlling the fuel metering system of an internal combustion engine during overrunning in accordance with the actual rpm and a reestablishment rpm threshold for the reestablishment of fuel metering, comprising the steps of, reducing the reestablishment rmp threshold below a predetermined actual rpm (n abr) according to a time function (n we(t)) from a high initial threshold value (n we0) to a low final value (n we1), and interrupting the metering of fuel to the engine at rpm values above the reestablishment rpm.

Abstract
A method and an apparatus for overrunning control in an internal combustion engine are proposed, which operate with an overrunning cutoff and the reestablishment rpm of which is dependent on rpm and on time. At the onset of overrunning, a higher reestablishment rpm is selected, and once the rpm falls below a predetermined rpm value the reestablishment rpm is reduced according to a time function to a lower threshold value. The method may be realized by a controlled system, as well as by a control apparatus operating with analog circuitry.
