Tune up?

I have a 2000 ford Taurus and the last 2 wks and it isnt every time when I start the car it sounds and feels like it is running real rough and wont take off like normal almost like its a struggle. My oil light came on so I checked the oil it was a quart low so I added.the light still on but not every time. I also added a bottle of carb cleaner to full tank. I noticed there is a white rust like substance around one of the connectors to my battery could that be the problem

You need a good tune up and for sure clean your battery cables could have some low oil pressure ( not goosd at all ) but dont make it sluggish , or the battery , thats probably the need of a tune up

You may have added oil but what was the condition of the oil? Low dirty oil makes your engine run poorly & eats up gas. Proper maintanence. If battery terminals are corroded clean & tighten. You can have an ed-18 performed @ almost any repair center to test(free) your battery life & charging system.
