ABSTRACT:
An internal combustion engine includes a lambda control device having a lambda sensor and a lambda control for regulating a fuel-air mixture to be supplied to an internal combustion engine to a set-point value, outside of full load operation, as a function of an output signal of the lambda sensor, and a mixture control device for setting the fuel-air mixture to a value being less than the set-point value, during full load operation of the internal combustion engine and with the lambda control switched off. A method for operating the internal combustion engine under full load includes continuously detecting and comparing the output signal of the lambda sensor with a rich and a lean threshold value, with the lambda control switched off, releasing the lambda control for a selectable number of mixture state changes, if the output signal of the lambda sensor falls below the lean threshold value during a period of time being greater than a preset value, and keeping the lambda control released until a mean value of the lambda control value indicates a rich main mixture.
