Abstract

A process and a device for controlling an internal combustion engine, specifically an internal combustion engine with self-ignition. Depending on different operating parameters, a signal determining the output power can be defined. The signal determining the output power is increased by a predefined value when a start condition is present and when a further condition is met.
