In a method for operating a spark-ignition internal combustion engine with direct fuel injection in the post-start phase at low temperatures, fuel is supplied to the combustion air in a pilot injection (M.sub.H) of a first fuel quantity during an intake stroke of the internal combustion
Switching off a fuel pump of a fuel supply system for the internal combustion engine with the aid of a signal from a retardation sensor of the airbag in the event of a crash in which the motor vehicle is involved is known.To further enhance the safety of motor-vehicle occupants, a method
A changeover is made between a so-called low-pressure starting with a homogeneous mixture and a so-called high-pressure starting with a stratified mixture as a function of an engine coolant temperature. Since, during the high-pressure starting of the internal combustion engine, injec
