The device that ignites gas in a car engine is the spark plug. The spark plug will not work without a device, called a coil, that sends a signal to the spark plug to tell it when to spark.

How does gas make your car work?

Gas enters your engines combustion chambers and combines with air, when the piston comes up your spark plug fires and ignites the gas. When the gas explodes it pushes the piston back down, which turns the crankshaft that then turn the transmission that turns the driveshaft turning the tires, which are on the road, that make you go.


Why will a car not continue if it is turned off?

If 91 octain is required will using 89 or 87 octane damage the engine?

it can over time, octane ratings tell you how easly the gas ignites under pressure, the lower the rating the easier it ignites. higher preformence engines have higher compression and without the right gas the extra pressure can cause the gas to ignite early resulting in engine knock.

A car engine can be classified based on the number of cylinders it has. It could be a 4 cylinder, 6 cylinder, 8 cylinder, 10 cylinder, or 12 cylinder (the last two engines are mainly used in exotic cars). There are also rotary engines, electric engines, natural gas engines and hybrid (electric/gas) engines. Each of these has subcategories as in the most common piston engines listed above.
