Abstract
A method and an arrangement for controlling the drive power of a vehicle are suggested wherein, on the basis of a desired value for the torque to be outputted by the drive unit, the following are influenced in the sense of preparing the desired value: the ratio of the air supplied to the drive unit and of the fuel supplied as well as the ignition angle and/or the metering of fuel to the individual cylinders. The interventions into the air/fuel ratio as well as the ignition angle and/or the metering of fuel are synchronized with each other so that the torque-changing effects of the individual interventions occur essentially at the same time point especially at the same inducting cylinder.
