The piston in a petrol engine moves up and down within a cylinder, converting the pressure generated by burning fuel into mechanical energy. As the piston moves, it transfers this energy to the crankshaft, which in turn drives the vehicle's wheels.
The engine's piston moves up and down within the cylinder to help generate power.
A piston in an engine functions as a class 1 lever. The piston moves up and down inside the cylinder, converting the pressure from the combustion process into mechanical energy that drives the engine. The force from the expanding gases acts on the piston (effort), which then creates a turning effect on the crankshaft (load).
The speed of a piston is primarily determined by the engine's RPM (revolutions per minute). A higher RPM typically results in a faster piston speed. Additionally, factors such as piston weight, engine design, and combustion efficiency can also influence the speed of a piston.

The crankshaft converts the linear motion of the piston into rotation of the crankshaft.
The piston includes the piston, rings, rod, rod bearing, and crankshaft bearing.
Many use standard petrol, some use high octane petrol.

Misfiring on a petrol injection engine is caused due to incorrect ignition timing. As the engine rotates, the timing determines when each piston fires or ignites.

to make the vehicle go
The piston has the same function whether diesel or petrol. The piston is forced down the cylinder when the petrol mixture ignites and expands. That in turn presses on the connecting rod which in turn pushes on the crankshaft. The crankshaft changes the up and down movement of the piston into a rotational movement which makes the car go.
A petrol engine is called a spark ignition engine because it uses a spark plug to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. When the engine's piston compresses the mixture, the spark plug generates a spark that ignites it, causing an explosion that drives the piston down. This ignition method distinguishes it from diesel engines, which rely on compression ignition. The term reflects the fundamental mechanism by which combustion occurs in petrol engines.
The volume occupied by the cylinder when the piston is at top dead centre is called clearence valume.
