  "textContent": "A method detects a fault, in particular coking, in the intake tract of an internal combustion engine with direct fuel injection, a throttle valve, and a variable intake valve lift controller. The method has the steps of a) carrying out a first quantity deviation test, by which a first air ratio value is ascertained that is formed from a lambda value, which is measured during the first quantity deviation test, and a desired lambda value of the fuel combustion in the fuel chambers of the internal combustion engine, wherein in the first quantity deviation test, a load control is carried out by the variable intake valve lift controller; b) carrying out a second quantity deviation test, by which a second air ratio value is ascertained that is formed from a lambda value, which is measured during the second quantity deviation test, and a desired lambda value of the fuel combustion in the fuel chambers of the internal combustion engine, wherein in the second quantity deviation test, a load control is carried out by the throttle valve; and lastly c) determining a comparison result from the first air ratio value and the second air ratio value, the presence of a fault in the intake tract of the internal combustion engine being detectable using the comparison result.",
