The engine is the source of power for the vehicle

It converts the energy stored in fuel into motion

© Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only

Fuel is burned inside the engine’s combustion chamber to produce heat

Heat causes expansion of gases in the engine

Expansion in the combustion chamber produces pressure

Engine components convert pressure into rotating motion

Four-Stroke Cycle Requires four piston strokes to

complete one cycle Every four strokes, the engine

produces one power stroke Two complete crankshaft rotations are

required to complete the four-stroke cycle

Almost all automobiles use four-stroke-cycle engines

Intake Stroke Draws fuel and air into the engine Intake valve is open Exhaust valve is closed Piston slides down and forms a low

pressure area in the cylinder Atmospheric pressure pushes the air-

fuel mixture into the cylinder

Compression Stroke

Compresses (squeezes) the air-fuel mixture, making it more combustible

Piston slides upward Both valves are closed

© Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only

Power Stroke Burns the air-fuel mixture and pushes

the piston down with tremendous force Both valves are closed Spark plug fires, igniting the air-fuel

mixture Pressure forms on the top of the piston Piston is forced down, rotating the

crankshaft

Exhaust Stroke Removes the burned gases from the

cylinder Piston moves upward Intake valve is closed Exhaust valve is open Burned gases are pushed out the

exhaust port
