Nissan 200SX Engine

There are four main processes that take place in the engine, namely, intake, compression, power and exhaust. The internal combustion engine works on a mixture of air and fuel. Ideally, 14.7 parts of air must be mixed with one part gasoline so as to produce large amount of power once the engine is ignited. The air enters the engine through the air cleaner then the throttle plate. The amount of air that gets into the engine is controlled with the gas pedal. The air and fuel mixture is compressed and when the spark plug fires igniting the compressed mixture, power is produced.
