Abstract
A method for engine control in a motor vehicle is specified, in particular a method for controlling a combustion engine in a motor vehicle, namely for optimally adjusting a quantity of exhaust gas, which is recirculated, in an exhaust gas recirculation branch, from an exhaust manifold situated after the engine on the output side to an intake manifold situated before the engine on the input side, and a device functioning according to the method, which enables controlling and, where applicable, regulation of the recirculated exhaust gas quantity, whereby the regulation, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, is supplemented with possibilities for parameter adaptation.
