    I think it means miss-firing. So one of the cylinder doesn't fire. Papangit nga ang mileage nun. Sparkplug problem is just one of the possible culprits for this problem.

    Yung starter pag hindi "kumagat" usually means ayaw mag-engage ang starter gear sa flywheel gear to rotate the engine. Thus it is not likely a battery or sparkplug problem.

    Pero yung general description sa tanong mo na - "pag mag start ako ng engine tapos hindi agad kumagat" could also mean that your car is probably is not tuned properly kaya ayaw magstart agad. Ipatune-up mo.

    Sir, medyo magulong ang pagkakacompose ng mga tanong mo, I hope merun akong nasagot sa tanong mo.

    Sir suv... I think the link answered your question about steady miss.

    On the second question, about hindi kumagat ang starter... kung malakas ang baterya may problema ang solenoid ng starter o grounded ang starter.

    Any auto shop can check this... maski yong mga nagrerewind ng starter pwede mo pacheck. Mura lang to.

    steady miss - miss, wag kang gagalaw, steady ka lang...hehehe.

    Seriously, pag naka menor yun engine mo hindi pantay yun rpm niya. it might have a +/- 200 rpm. Kung baga may palya at nginig yun makina. Could be a dirty/dead sparkplug, a dirty carb/injector/fuel filter or simple a dirty air cleaner. Pede rin may leak vaccuum hoses mo.

    sablay ang makina

    meron prblema sa loob nito ... mararamdaman mo ito, medyo malakas nginig ng makina ... at saka parang gustong pumugak ang tunog ng tambutso

Ano ibig sabihin ng "steady miss"
