I have a 2007 corolla with 200k miles. I've been having trouble starting my car. I took my battery to Autozone and they said it was still charged and good. Even once it starts, it seems to be running "weak" (shaking, low idle, sluggish response, etc.). Any ideas what this could be? Alternator, starter, wiring, something else?

I'll go ahead and get some of that cleaner. Sometimes it fails to crank as well. I turn the key and all lights go off. It's kind of hit or miss sometimes I don't know if AutoZone just misdiagnosed my battery (replaced 2 years ago under warranty).

Get the battery & alternator load tested at some other auto parts store as a second opinion.
