Best Answer

A car works by the engine exploding a mixture of fuel and air in the cylinders which makes the pistons move and that drives the shaft and that in turn turns the gears which turn the wheels.

The spark plug ignites the air/fuel mixture inside the cylinder at (TDC) Top Dead Center. The crankshaft and the camshaft are responsible for engine rotation. The timing chain connects to these shafts by a gear on each of them. This will put the valves in time to run the engine properly. In most cases, the output goes through a transmission to one of the axles, and that is what makes the vehicle move.
