STARTING METHOD FOR A COMBUSTION ENGINE AND MOTOR VEHICLE

The present invention relates to a starting method for an internal combustion engine (3) of a drivetrain (2) of a motor vehicle (1), wherein the internal combustion engine (3) has at least one cylinder (3a-c) and wherein the drivetrain (2) comprises the internal combustion engine (3), a transmission (6) and a vibration damping element (4), which is coupled between the internal combustion engine (3) and the transmission (6), wherein the method comprises: detecting (31) a starting request for the internal combustion engine (3); reducing (32) a combustion air charge of the at least one cylinder (3a-c) of the internal combustion engine (3); rotating (33) the internal combustion engine (3) for a predetermined number of revolutions; and increasing (34) the combustion air charge of the at least one cylinder (3a-c) of the internal combustion engine (3).
