Abstract: In an intake module for an internal combustion engine having an intake module which includes a housing with a first volume in which air drawn in via an inlet orifice accumulates, a second volume in which the air is distributed to various cylinders of the engine and which contains inlet ports leading to inlet valves of the engine, a support module with associated throttle elements is arranged between the first volume and the second volume of the intake module within the housing so as to provide for short travel passages between the throttle elements and the intake valves of the engine.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine having one injection valve (3) per cylinder and at least one additional port injector (5) for injecting fuel into combustion air which is fed to the cylinders (2) in the intake tract (4). The port injector (5) havs two supply inlets (10, 11) which can be closed off. A control unit (8) determines the quantity of fuel which is to be delivered as a function of the operating state of the internal combustion engine (1). Separately provided starting fuel is delivered by the port injector (5) during the warm-up phase of the internal combustion engine.
