  • Fault analysis method and fault analysis device for an internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 9068524
    Abstract: In a fault analysis method for an internal combustion engine having a plurality of cylinders, an angular speed of the internal combustion engine is determined, and one parameter of the combustion process of one of the plurality of cylinders (6) is adapted in order to equalize the times taken by the internal combustion engine to cover in each case one angle interval. To provide a fault analysis method which makes it possible to detect a defective cylinder (6), it is determined that one of the plurality of cylinders (6) is defective on the basis of the value of the parameter.
