ABSTRACT:
A method is presented for determining the fuel/air ratio in the individual cylinders (single cylinder lambda) of an internal combustion engine having a plurality of cylinders, whose exhaust gases mix together in a common exhaust gas pipe system, from the signal of an exhaust gas probe, whose mounting location lies in the common exhaust gas pipe system, with the aid of an invertible model for the intermixing of the exhaust gases at the mounting location of the exhaust gas probe. The method is distinguished in that, in the determination of the single cylinder lambda from the signal of the one exhaust gas probe evaluated with the aid of the inverted model, the rotational angle position of the exhaust gas probe at its mounting position is taken into consideration.
