Abstract

Various embodiments include a method for identifying valve stroke phase differences during operation comprising: measuring dynamic pressure oscillations in the air intake tract; generating a corresponding signal; acquiring a crankshaft phase angle; acquiring the phase position and the amplitude of a signal frequency of the oscillations based on the pressure oscillation using discrete Fourier transformation; acquiring a line of an equal phase position and of equal amplitude of the signal frequency reflecting the inlet and the outlet stroke phase difference using reference lines; acquiring a common intersection point of a line of equal phase position and a line of equal amplitude by projection into a common plane; and determining the stroke phase differences and from the common intersection point.
