My toilet, a few times a day starts running water for a few seconds then stops. How do I fix it?

What you also want to do is pour vinegar down the tube in the tank that water sprays into

That feeds into the "jets" the water gets into the bowl from. Overtime those ports will crystalize over and it's a huge hassle. flushing with vinegar that way will break it up before it fully clogs. And if some are clogged, the vinegar just soaks in there till the next flush
