Let me tell you this from the start, to explain how a car engine works is probely the hardest thing to do, I couldt figure it out either, it just comes to you at some point..

1) A mixture of fuel an air enters the cylinder, which haves a piston inside.

2) The piston is forces upwards, compressing the mixture.

3) A spark plug on the top is hit.

4) Spak plug makes an explosion inside the cylinder, which forces the piston downwards.

5) the explosion haves enought power to force the piston upwards. (explains the second step.)

and this happends again and again and again.

I am not suprised if you didn't get it.

You might want to check out some drawing/vids on this.
