Yep, except its more of an explosion than a burn
An injector (all modern cars to my knowledge) shoots a mix of air and fuel into the piston which is then ignited by the spark created by the spark plug. This forces the pistol to complete a revolution which in turn allows for another round of fuel vapour (ie the air/fuel mix) to be injected
