Abstract

A method is proposed for improving the operating behavior of motor vehicles driven by an internal combustion engine and especially to reduce jerking or bucking. The jerking, caused by rapid changes in engine torque, is damped by adapting the torque of the engine to the increase in output of the drive train of the vehicle. To this end, the deflection of the engine relative to the motor body is detected and used for vaying the fuel quantity metered to the engine. A differentiating member interposed between the engine and the body acts upon the fuel quantity adjusting device of the fuel metering device.
