Engine Operation
The 2000 Lincoln Town Car engine operates on a four-stroke cycle. The four strokes are:
- Intake stroke
- Compression stroke
- Power stroke
- Exhaust stroke
During the intake stroke, the intake valve opens and the piston moves down the cylinder. This creates a vacuum that draws air and fuel into the cylinder. During the compression stroke, the intake valve closes and the piston moves up the cylinder. This compresses the air and fuel mixture. During the power stroke, the spark plug ignites the air and fuel mixture. This causes the mixture to burn and expand, which forces the piston down the cylinder. During the exhaust stroke, the exhaust valve opens and the piston moves up the cylinder. This pushes the burned exhaust gases out of the cylinder.
