Abstract
An internal combustion engine comprising: a plurality of cylinders in which combustion chambers are provided, wherein an ignition device and/or a fuel introduction device is associated with each combustion chamber, wherein the combustion chambers are adapted for cyclic ignition of fuel, an open-loop or closed-loop control device for actuation or closed-loop control of the ignition devices and/or fuel introduction devices, and at least one measuring device for detecting a temperature which is characteristic for each cylinder, wherein the open-loop or closed-loop control device is adapted for actuation or closed-loop control of the ignition devices or the fuel introduction devices in dependence on the signals of the at least one measuring device so that no ignition takes place in at least one selected cylinder during at least one cycle and that an even temperature distribution over all cylinders is achieved.
