Zusammenfassung:A method to diagnose a fault in a fuel injection system 40 of an internal combustion engine 10 is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of commanding an injection pulse for injecting test quantity of fuel into an engine cylinder 20, determining the torque TRa released to an engine crankshaft 30 due to said injection pulse, of calculating the difference between this released torque TRa and an expected value TRe for said torque, and of detecting a fault in the fuel injection system 40 if said difference exceeds a threshold E*. Also disclosed in an associated computer program for use in an engine ECU.
