What could be causing this with my 2004 Toyota Camry?

I have a 2004 Toyota Camry with 120K miles on it. It's run relatively well until today. When I went to crank it this morning, it wouldn't start. It sounded like it wanted to, but wouldn't %26quot;catch%26quot;. After a few tries, it started. I ran my errand, which was only a few miles and returned home. I drove it again this evening, just to see if it would start ok and drive ok. It started ok, but less than a half mile from home, the check engine light came on and before shutting the car off, when it was in park, it idled really low and felt like it wanted to die out. I've NEVER had trouble like this with my car before. And it really has me scared. I changed my spark plugs last year, and my air filter and cabin air filter were changed last month. What could be causing this.....and how expensive is my repair bill going to be? Thanks in advance.What could be causing this with my 2004 Toyota Camry?
Since the CEL came on, the best thing to do is to get the computer scanned. Most auto parts stores will do this as a free service. This will tell you the general area that the problem is and we can help you a lot more.What could be causing this with my 2004 Toyota Camry?
Take car to auto parts store and they will scan for the problem code, and give you a general area where the problem is. Get code and take it to a trusted repair shop and they will repair,or get a few prices and shop around for the a good price. At least you will know the cause and they can not just sell you anything.What could be causing this with my 2004 Toyota Camry?
I would check out my %26quot; Top 5%26quot; post on my blog below. It sounds like you just need to have some fuel system cleaning performed and your fuel filter replaced if you havent already. Your idle air control valve could be sticking a little. Fuel system cleaning $79.90 Fuel Filter R%26amp;R Same price. Remember without seeing the car these are estimates only. Ask for a Diagnostics for your problem first!
