Abstract

A control apparatus for a fuel metering system including a fuel pump is proposed, where in the case of a Diesel engine with insufficient voltage during starting, the final control element for the governor rod of the fuel pump is uncoupled from the signal processing unit and connected directly to a supply voltage line. It is thereby possible to prevent indefinite output signals of the signal processing unit, which appear in case of insufficient voltage, from having any effect, and simultaneously it is possible to attain reliable starting of the engine.
