I am experiencing the following three problems with my 1998 Toyota Camry (118k miles):
1) Check engine light turned on just a few days ago. I checked the gas tank cover but it wasn't it. I'm taking it to the mechanic tomorrow for a diagnostic.
2) When accelerating/decelerating to around 40-45 mph, my car makes a slight chugging motion but goes away when not within 40-45 mph. I'm afraid that it could be the transmission.
3) When I unlock only the driver side door and then open it, the alarm sounds. But when I unlock all doors, the alarm doesn't sound. It's been like this since summer and I have to always remember to unlock all doors so that the alarm doesn't go off.
I haven't had any major problems with my car and it has been maintained well. I'm hoping to be able to keep it for another few years.
Thanks for your help.
