Abstract
A method for operating an internal combustion engine, simplifying a direct start after an engine shutdown. A compressor is provided for compressing the fresh air supplied to an internal combustion engine of the internal combustion engine. The compressor is activated to fill at least one cylinder when the combustion engine is coasting, this cylinder coming to a standstill in a position suitable for a subsequent direct start.
