Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for operating an internal combustion engine, in particular a gas engine, preferably a lean gas engine, which has at least one cylinder. In order to improve the combustion process, a prechamber (5) is provided for igniting a mixture in a main chamber (4). A pressure curve is detected by a pressure sensor in the main chamber (4) dependent on a crank angle, and the quantity of supplied fuel is controlled or regulated for each individual cylinder using a fuel metering device (30, 10) and the pressure sensor dependent on a desired output and/or a desired torque and/or a desired rotational speed of the internal combustion engine.
