Best Answer

Fuel gets injected into the motor at the right time by the computer as the piston is going down and as it comes back up the ECU/computer sparks the spark plugs and the fuel explodes and forces the piston down and this happens to all the pistons at diffrent times,the more you push the throttle down the more fuel the motor gets,which explodes better.All the pistons are on the crank shaft.The crank shaft is conected to the gearbox and the diff which is what the wheels are conected to so the more you push the throttle down the bigger the explosion is forcing the pistons up and down which gives more HP to the gearbox to spin the wheels faster

This makes the car move.
