Default Engine Is Missing

im not too sure what that means...can someone explain to me what "missing" is??..when people check out my car they normally come to the muffler and say...or your car is missing...it's misfiring...how can you tell such a thing from the muffler?..and what is really going on here?

When a cylinder is not getting what it needs to fire. Whether it be fuel, spark, air, or poor compression.You can generally hear it from the motor,and the muffler i guess.

Did you get a OBDII scan,are you throwing a CEL?

A good tune up maybe what you need.
