Claim One:
1. An apparatus for adaptively controlling operating characteristic quantities of an internal combustion engine, the apparatus comprising: basic memory means having operating characteristic quantities dependent on engine parameters stored therein and being addressable by said parameters; said memory means delivering open-loop precontrol operating quantities; means resposive to at least one engine variable and generating an actual value thereof; a controller receiving said actual value and forming a control factor (RF); mean value formation means connected to the controller and forming an averaged control factor value (RF) which is transformed into a global factor (GF); multiplier means receiving said global factor (GF) for adaptively correcting every memory-stored open-loop precontrol operating quantity issued by said memory means in the sense of multiplicative shifting of the total data in said memory means; and, closed-loop control means including said controller for finally correcting every precontrol operating quantity already adaptively corrected by said global factor.
