Abstract

In a method and arrangement for controlling the fuel/air ratio of an internal combustion engine in which the output voltage of an oxygen measurement probe which is arranged in the exhaust pipe of the internal combustion engine is used, after comparison with threshold values, for regulating the fuel/air ratio, the threshold values can be controlled as a function of extreme values of the output voltage.
