An average car will have four to six pistons in the engine. Pistons move when an explosion of gas occurs in the combustion chamber. As the pistons move, they turn the crank shaft, helping the car to deliver power to the tires, so the car can move.
The speed of the engine is directly proportional to the moving pistons. When fuel and air mix together and enter the combustion chamber; they are ignited by the spark plugs creating the explosion that moves the piston. These pistons are cylinders that move up and down.
The faster pistons move the more RPMs (Revolutions Per Minute) your car has. Running your car too fast can create problems with your pistons. Like the fuel injectors, pistons can get dirty and may need cleaning to perform their best.
