The present invention concerns a method of controlling the operation of an internal combustion engine having at least one working chamber, each working chamber being generally arranged to operate in a succession of working cycles, the method comprising dynamically determining a firing pattern during operation of the engine on a firing opportunity by firing opportunity basis using feedback control to provide a desired engine output; and firing the at least one working chamber in the firing pattern, wherein the firing pattern skips the firing of selected skipped working cycles and fires selected active working cycles. Further, the present invention concerns an engine controller configured to perform the corresponding method.
