Sounds like a battery problem. To test, disconnect the battery in the evening and observe the car the following morning.

I have tried that, but seems worse that day.

Thanks

Good day car gurus in the house.

I noticed of recent that when I first start my Corolla 2009 every morning, it struggles to start or will I say it makes a cranky start. But after that first time, it balances and becomes ok, until I park it for hours or the next morning again.

Pls what could be the problem of that cranky start

Good morning sir.

Recently got a toks 05 Corolla. Noticed that once I engage the gear in drive, except I'm accelerating, the car jerks a bit. This happens more when I'm in a traffic. It stops once I disengage drive to either N or P.

I was advised to use an injector cleaner by a mechanic. Did and noticed the Jerking reduced considerably. Howeve, problem would increase after a while.

I've bought 3 injector cleaners in the last 3 weeks but this hasn't stopped.

Please what could be wrong?

Help Help !

Dear Nairalandera, @Gazzuz,

Please, there's a oil leak underneath my car, my mechanic have tried to check it but it seems they haven't gotten where the leak is coming from.
Yesterday, I was told they needed to remove the oil bottom and check if the leak is from there..which they did (the work on it and changed the car oil too ) and after I drove the car home overnight, I still noticed the leak..
Please, where else should they check for the leak ... the cost of mobil oil is getting more expensive and I'm loosing my mind to be honest

The car is kia optima( Turbo gdi engine )

Turn the ignition to the on/run position for at least 5sec before starting. If it starts on the 1st attempt, then you have problem with the fuel delivery system (from fuel pump, to filter, to regulator amongst other parts).
Check for fuel pressure drop with a pressure gauge at the fuel pump and after the fuel filter to know the pressure you get (check pressure with ignition on, while cranking the engine, and while engine is running).
You should scan the car though if you have other issues apart from fuel related ones.

Your window control unit has been wired directly to the battery and that's why it's powering the window even when the car is turned off.
It should be rewired back to the ignition system.
This should be am easy DIY fix, better still meet any competent rewire, they should know what to do

Check your idle control system.
Clean with a Carburetor Cleaner, check the wiring harness for breached wires or impartial connection, or replace unit if bad.
