Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling an internal combustion engine with a fuel injection system which can comprise, in addition to a main injection quantity, an additional amount of pre-injected and/or post-injected fuel for each injection pulse for each combustion chamber for each combustion cycle at a given injection time. A theoretical torque is determined from an accelerator pedal value, rotational speed and air or fuel mass flow while taking into account a factor from a family of characteristics. According to the invention, the calculated theoretical torque is corrected in the case of a pre-injected or post-injected fuel mass flow by taking into account, in a correction factor, a value for a time or phase difference of the amount of pre-injected or post-injected fuel and the main injection quantity for each cycle.

Abstract: A first sleeve and a second sleeve are put onto the shaft at a predetermined axial distance apart and are pressed radially. The shaft is encapsulated between the first and the second sleeve with a thermoplastic in such a way that a vane body, which has at least one aperture, is formed. The vane body is encapsulated with a sealing compound in such a way that a sealing lip is formed on the vane body at the margins.

Abstract: Inlet pipes extend from a collector to the cylinder inlets of the internal combustion engine. The inlet pipes are formed with mutually facing openings in their adjacent walls. Control flaps each have a shaft, which is respectively provided with a damping element and is mounted by way of the damping elements in a bearing bush. The openings in the inlet pipes are selectively closed and opened with the control flaps.
