ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method of operating an internal combustion engine having at least one mode of operation in which combustion substantially relies on autoignition of a compression ignitable homogeneous fuel/air mixture, more specifically of a gasoline/air mixture, the temperature in the combustion chamber being controlled by exhaust gas recirculation. To increase the charge temperature in the combustion chamber in the simplest possible manner, there is provided that the residual gases be recirculated through at least one catalyst disposed in the exhaust duct in proximity to the engine.
