METHOD FOR OPERATING AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

The invention relates to a method for operating an internal combustion engine, in which the internal combustion engine has a control device, by means of which at least one intake closure is moved, which closes an intake opening to a cylinder, and which actuates the intake closure depending on a varying rotational position of a drive shaft, wherein the drive shaft reaches a target rotational position in a stopped state, and before this, closes the intake port for the last but one time and closes the intake port for the last time, and wherein the drive shaft reaches the target rotational position in the stopped state by the following method: the drive shaft closes the intake port for the last but one time, a first target intake pipe pressure is set in the intake pipe when the intake port isclosed for the last but one time, a second target intake pipe pressure is set in the intake pipe when the intake port is closed for the last time, and the second target intake pipe pressure is set inthe stop state of the driv
