Abstract
A method and an arrangement for controlling an internal combustion engine are suggested wherein a pregiven number of cylinders are shut off for reducing consumption and for reducing toxic substances in predetermined operating conditions. To maintain the torque desired by the driver, a correction of the ignition angle and/or a control of the cylinders to be suppressed is undertaken especially in the transition phase to cylinder shutoff and when switching on the cylinders. This is in addition to a corresponding influencing of the charge.
