Wandering aimlessly about the Web, I heard Sport Pilot say:
You have most of it right. Some things you have wrong,

1. Desiel injection timing is differant than on an Otto engine. The
fuel is injected during the intake cycle on the Otto engine and the
fuel is injected during the ignition cycle on the Desiel. On the
Desiel the fuel injection cycle starts just before TDC and ends well
after TDC. The fuel ignites as soon as it hits the hot air.

etc., etc. --- SNIP ---

It's Diesel, not "Desiel".

Well if you're going to get picky, it's "Auto" engine, not "Otto" engine.

No, it is OTTO, named after the guy who invented the "otto cycle"
engine - just like Diesel is named after the guy who invented the
compression ignition or "diesel cycle" engine.
