Method for operating a combustion engine and device for executing the method

摘要

The operating method involves the use of a pencil type glow plug (12) that is assigned to one cylinder. One catalytic converter (14) is arranged in the exhaust gas area. The pencil type glow plug is operated temporarily independent of the combustion engine operating status until reaching a preset measure for the conversion capability of the catalytic converter. An independent claim is also included for an operating device for a combustion engine.
