Abstract: A fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine in which pressurized fuel is made available in a pressure accumulator and a fuel pressure prevailing in the pressure accumulator is ascertained with the aid of a pressure sensor and in which the fuel enters a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine through at least one fuel injection device. A slope of a curve, which links a pressure difference in the pressure accumulator during a fuel injection to an injected fuel quantity, is ascertained and the fuel pressure prevailing in the pressure accumulator is inferred from the slope.

Abstract: In a method and a device for testing for leakage in a fuel injection valve of an internal combustion engine, a temperature quantity is determined that characterizes the temperature of at least a part of the fuel injection valve. On the basis of this temperature quantity, the presence of a leak is inferred.

Abstract: A device and a method for determining a fuel pressure and/or an injected amount of fuel are described. A fuel injection unit meters the fuel to an internal combustion engine as a function of a first and a second trigger signal. The first trigger signal controls the start and end of fuel metering, and the second trigger signal controls the pressure buildup. The variation of pressure is determined on the basis of at least the first trigger signal and the second trigger signal.

Abstract: A device and a method for controlling fuel metering into an internal combustion engine are described. A fuel injection unit meters fuel to the engine as a function of at least a first trigger signal and a second trigger signal. The first trigger signal controls the start and the end of fuel metering, and the second trigger signal controls the fuel pressure buildup. The first trigger signal is predefined on the basis of signals which characterize the amount of fuel to be injected, the start of fuel metering, and the fuel pressure at the start of fuel metering.
