Abstract

A method for determining knocking combustion in an internal combustion engine having an alternating current ignition system, which method is used to control the duration of the ignition spark burning time as well as the ignition energy while the fuel-air-mixture is ignited by the spark plug, in dependence on the load condition and other characteristic values provided by the engine.
