Suggested is a procedure for operating a combustion engine (10), which comprises at least one pencil-type glow plug (12) that is assigned to at least one cylinder (11), and in whose exhaust gas area (13) at least one catalytic converter (14) is arranged, as well as a device for implementing the procedure. The pencil-type glow plug (12) is operated at least temporarily independent of the combustion engine operating status until reaching a preset measure for the conversion capability of the catalytic converter (14). The procedure according to the invention enables a low-emission operation of the combustion engine (10) simultaneously with minimal energy consumption and an extended lifetime of the pencil-type glow plug (12).
