Abstract

An electronic control system for fuel metering in an internal combustion engine includes, inter alia, means for determining a basic injection-quantity signal and a transition compensation signal for adapting the quantity of fuel metered-in in the case of acceleration and deceleration, in which, for the purpose of transition compensation, a wall-film quantity signal and a discharge factor signal (Tk) are formed as a function of load and rotational speed, and the transition compensation signal takes into account both the wall-film quantity signal and the discharge factor signal. The discharge factor signal can either be read from a characteristic map or assume two discrete values. The proposed system serves the purpose of achieving a transitional behavior which is as optimum as possible with respect to the exhaust gas.
