How Car Engines Work

About this course

When you turn the key, thousands of controlled explosions begin firing inside your engine. This classroom demystifies the internal combustion engine: the four-stroke cycle that turns fuel into motion, the pistons, valves, spark plugs, and crankshaft that make it happen, and the difference between inline, V, and turbocharged layouts. You will understand what is happening under the hood and how to spot the signs of a healthy or struggling engine.
