When you push the accelerator you are adding more fuel and more air to the engine. The more fuel and more air that is added to each cylinder the bigger the explosion within that cylinder. This explosion drives the piston downward thus turning the crankshaft faster and faster as more air/ful mix is added. This is what increases your speed.
