Abstract
A method for controlling an internal combustion engine having intermittently actuated inlet valves, wherein intake pressure is determined between two final control elements, positions of the control elements are determined, an air quantity flow into the combustion chamber is predicted at preselected times and at preselected positions of the control elements and air is introduced into the engine as a function of the predicted air quantity.
