A- air, carb heat or alternate air in case of engine with CS prop
S- spark, check magneto's L/R leave on L or R if condition simprove
T- technical, mechanical failure, throttle cable, mixture cable, oil on cowling or windscreen.. > divert or precautionary landing.
I personally do not agree with this check.

The first thing that you need to do with a rough running engine is apply full carb heat.
