  "textContent": "Process for operating an internal combustion (IC) engine having a fuel injection system comprises measuring the amount of oxygen introduced during the lean phase and/or the amount of oxygen consumed in a rich phase using a probe behind one or more catalysts, and determining the oxygen storability via the oxygen amount behind the catalyst and from the lambda behind the catalyst and the exhaust gas stream. The other phases are controlled via lambda and the exhaust gas stream so that the oxygen storage is filled and consumed. The duration of the cyclic phases is adapted so that the absolute excess oxygen and absolute air requirement of the unburned fuel components are in a fixed ratio corresponding to the actual exhaust gas stream. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) Computer program for carrying out the process; (2) Control and/or regulating device for operating an IC engine; and (3) IC engine (12) comprising a control and/or regulating unit and catalysts (14, 16). The engine is heated cyclically in the rich and lean phases to heat one of the catalysts. An oxygen sensor (18) is arranged after and/or between the catalysts to determine the length and/or intensity of the rich and/or lean phases. A constant lambda is regulated by regulating the phase duration, amplitude of the phases and/or the control of the phases.",
