ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method for at least temporarily increasing an exhaust gas temperature of a spark-ignition, direction injection internal combustion engine (10) involving at least one measure, which is executed by the engine, whereby this at least one measure consists of a spark retarding and of a multiple injection (ME). During the multiple injection (ME), at least two fuel injections into the cylinder (12) are carried out within an induction cycle and compression cycle of a cylinder (12) of the internal combustion engine (10), and the latest of these injections ensues during a compression cycle of the cylinder (12). The invention also relates to the utilization of the method. According to the invention, a control end of an injection angle (αEE) of the latest injection is at least temporarily set to between 80 and 10° before an upper ignition dead center (ZOT) when operating with multiple injection and/or an ignition angle (αZ) is at least temporarily set to between 10 and 45° after the upper ignition dead center (ZOT) also when operating with multiple injection. A combination of both measures enables a dramatic acceleration of the warming up of a catalytic converter (16) that is connected downstream from the internal combustion engine (10).
