Abstract

A method and apparatus for controlling a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine by connecting or disconnecting one or several of the cylinders with a throttling device provided in the suction system of the internal combustion engine; simultaneously with the connection or disconnection of the cylinder or cylinders, the position of the throttling device is so changed jump-like that the output of the internal combustion engine remains essentially unchanged.
