Abstract
A process for controlling the ignition in an internal combustion engine with a device for injecting fuel into a combustion chamber of the engine is provided, in which a control signal for the injection process and a control signal for the ignition process are used. The control signal for the injection process is used to start the measurement of a predetermined delay for the issue of the ignition control signal, as well as for the speed or load dependent switching to the ignition through the measurement of the crankshaft angle.
