ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a method of detecting combustion misfires of an internal combustion engine wherein an ion current is generated during the operation of the engine. The ion current signal is detected over a pregiven time interval starting with the discharge of a spark plug. The ion current signal is integrated over time with a weighting function to obtain a weighted integrated signal and the weighting function is adapted to previously detected ion current signals. The maximum of the weighted integrated signal is compared to a threshold value (s.sub.-- io) dependent upon engine rpm (nmot) and load (rl). A fault signal is outputted when the threshold value (s.sub.-- io) is not exceeded. The invention is also directed to an arrangement for detecting the combustion misfires.
