Abstract: The invention is directed to a method and an arrangement for controlling an internal combustion engine wherein a signal representing engine load is compared to a maximum value pregiven for at least one driver command range. Fault and emergency reactions are initiated when the measured signal value reaches or exceeds the maximum value.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an arrangement for controlling an internal combustion engine wherein one or more position data values are determined with reference to the position of the adjusting device via a plausibility check with a signal value representing the load of the engine. If required, an emergency operation takes place in the context of an electronic engine power control with position data values which are unreliable and on the basis of a desired value, which is pregiven by the driver and which represents the load of the engine, and a corresponding actual value.

Abstract: An electronic engine power control system is disclosed for a motor vehicle wherein a measuring arrangement is utilized for determining the position of an actuating element. The measuring arrangement is configured in such a manner that it has different resolutions in various ranges of the position of the actuating element. The open-loop or closed-loop control of the position of the engine power-determining element or of the actuating element in idle or near idle is undertaken in dependence upon the measurement signal of high resolution while, outside of the idle or near idle range, the control of the actuating element is undertaken in dependence upon measurement signals of low resolution or a straight open-loop control of the position of the actuating element.
