A fuel injection pump for an internal combustion engine is proposed having an adjustment piston for the adjustment of the onset of the injection, on which an rpm-proportional fuel pressure determined by a pressure control valve and a pressure valve placed behind it and controllable in dependence on temperature acts. An adjustment device controls a full load stop for the limitation of the full-load fuel maximally injected by the fuel injection pump. The adjustment device has a movable piston for this purpose disposed movably in a work bore. The circumference of the piston is formed as a cam and is scanned by a scanner determining the position of the full load stop. The movable piston is acted on one side by the fuel pressure in the suction chamber and on the other side by a spring and by the fuel pressure between the pressure control valve and the pressure valve. This results in a compensation of the fuel pressure force at the movable piston, which is caused by the pressure valve.
