Method for operating an internal combustion engine

摘要

An internal combustion engine includes a cylinder ( 2 ) wherein a combustion chamber ( 5 ) is formed. The engine also includes devices for metering fuel and combustion air as well as an ignition device for igniting the mixture in the combustion chamber ( 5 ). A method for operating the internal combustion engine provides that fuel and combustion air are supplied to the engine and the mixture is ignited in the combustion chamber ( 5 ). The combustion chamber ( 5 ) is delimited by a piston ( 7 ) which drives a crankshaft ( 25 ) rotatably journalled in a crankcase ( 3 ). A control is provided which controls the supply of fuel and the ignition of the mixture in the combustion chamber ( 5 ). The internal combustion engine is so controlled in at least one operating state that the number of combustions is less than the number of engine cycles in the same time span. To avoid the formation of self ignitions, the operating state is a high rpm range wherein the rpm lies above the rated rpm and below the rpm in a regulating range.
