there is a lot of stuff that has to be right about a motor for it to run, the job of the gas or fuel of any type is to provide energy, the fuel is put into the cylinder and the piston compresses it and at the same time the engine gets itsself setup for a power stroke, when everything is just right the fuel is ignited causing an explosion inside the motor, this explosion is the release of the energy stored in the fuel, when this happens there needs to be a way for that energy to escape, because of the design of an internal combustion engine the method of energy escaping is by pushing the piston down causing the motor to produce power and allowing it to start the cycle over again automatically, on most car motors this happens about 1000 times a minutes at highway speeds for each cylinder, for a 4 cylinder car this is about 4000 times a minute.
1000 power strokes per minute for each cylinder at 2000 RPM.
