Abstract

A method and a device for operating an engine, in particular of a vehicle, avoid a jump of an output variable of the engine and therefore a jolt of the internal combustion engine in specific operating states of the engine. In this case, the output variable of the internal combustion engine is set within a predefined range. At least a part of the predefined range for setting the output variable is blocked as a function of at least one operating state of the internal combustion engine.
