Intake stroke: The first stroke of the internal combustion engine is also known as the suction stroke because the piston moves to the maximum volume position ( downward direction in the cylinder ).

Compression stroke: In this stroke, both valves are closed and the piston starts its movement to the minimum volume position ( upward direction in the cylinder ) and compresses the fuel mixture.

During this stroke, the piston starts its movement in the maximum volume position.
