The spark plug will fire once every four strokes, at the end of the compression stroke.
Two strokes have two cycles the piston go through intake/compression and ignition/exhaust where four strokes have four separate piston cycles intake compression ignition and exhaust.
In a engine, well 99.9% of them the piston is conected to a crank via a conrod, as nothing changes during the strokes of the piston and the cylinder bores dont change. The swept volume of the stroke is always constant.
It is the number of strokes (forward and back) the piston makes in one minute. For radial (turbine) and rotary steam engines, it is the number of revolutions per minute.
This is a type of high tech ultra light weight aluminum piston material for use in automotive engines. It has desirable strength and weight characteristics in comparison to cast pistons but lacks strength in comparison to Forged materials in piston manufacture.

On a 2 stroke engine, each cylinder fires every time the piston comes up. On a 4 stroke engine, the cylinder only fires every OTHER time the piston comes up. 4 stroke engines have 4 strokes: Intake, compression, power, and exhaust. 2 stroke engines complete these cycles in only two strokes of the piston by use of ports in the cylinder walls. 2 stroke engines usually produce more power for a given weight/size. But, in gasoline engines, 2 stroke engines are typically less efficient (use more gas) and have much higher pollution levels (note: some newer "direct injection" 2 stroke engines do much better on pollution levels than the typical 2 stroke)

all car engines are internal combustion most car engines are Reciprocating piston some mazdas use wankel rotary engines hybrids use reciprocating piston engines in combination with electric motors
