What is the force that keeps the crankshaft turning?
The crankshaft has counterweights which are placed in such a way as to provide momentum when the the power stroke of any piston is absent. This drives the crankshaft to spin until the next power stroke of a piston drives it further.
Does a connecting rod transmit power from the piston to the crankshaft?
Yep.
What mean ignite?
to set on fireIn an automotive sense, ignite is the "explosion" of the fuel in the head cylinder when the spark plug "fires". The "explosion" forces the piston down to rotate the crankshaft and provide power to the engine.
How does a piston moves downward in d suction operation in a 4stroke engine?
The piston is moved by the connecting rod which in turn is moved by the crankshaft. It is only on the power stroke that the piston moves the connecting rod, crankshaft and all the rest of the engine, in all the other strokes the engine, crankshaft and connecting rod move the piston.

How the piston function?
They rotate on the crank and compress air/fuel mixture in the cylinder so it explodes with spark to drive piston down and rotate the crank trnsferring that power to the wheels.
What connects to the piston?
Crankshaft
What connects the piston to the crankshaft?
Gudgeon Pin/Piston Pin
What determines piston stroke?
Both con-rod length and shape of the crankshaft affect piston stroke
What direction is the piston going during the compression?
Using directions like upwards in this context is meaningless because you haven't defined how the piston is oriented.During the compression stroke of a typical 4-stroke gasoline engine, the piston takes energy from the crankshaft. The reason the whole scheme still works is that you get a lot more energy back after the combustion during the power stroke. Add up the total energy moved between the piston and the crankshaft over a whole cycle (two rotations of the crankshaft), and you will find the total being positive from piston to crankshaft.
What does a crankshaft do?
The crankshaft is the part that connects the flywheel and the piston rods on an internal combustible engine. Its job is to change the movement of the pistons to a circular motion, which is what is needed to power a vehicle.
What is the purpose of the crankshaft in a petrol engine?
The crankshaft converts the linear motion of the piston into rotation of the crankshaft.
