There is only one intake stroke in a four-stroke engine. The other three strokes are compression, power, and exhaust. The intake stroke is a down stroke of the piston in which fuel is drawn into the cylinder while the fuel intake valve is open. The next stroke is the compression stroke in which the valves are closed and the fuel is compressed for combustion. The following stroke is the power stroke - a downward stroke of the piston after fuel combustion that drives the crankshaft. The final stroke is the exhaust stroke, an upward stroke of the piston as the exhaust valve opens to relieve the exhaust fuel fumes.

The fuel lines connect to a fuel rail that is bolted onto engine. The fuel rail holds the fuel injectors that enter into the intake manifold.

On the intake stoke of the cylinder the fuel injector will spray allowing the mist of gas to pass into cylinder via the cylinder head intake port.
