I have a 1991 Camry with fuel injection. It cranks fine, idles kind of
high but goes into gear smoothly. At the beginning of a drive it
accelerates good and rides good. After a few minutes of driving it
begins to sputter and lose power. It never stalls and if I come to a
complete stop it does not cut off. If I allow it to cool off and try to
drive it, it still sputters and has no power. If I let it sit for a few
days then start it, it begins the cycle all over again.
I have not checked or changed anything yet. I am not really sure where
to start.
Any suggestions?
get your egr valve checked.

I had that (91), the stalks on the plug leads were cracked and floating in
oil. Re-seated the tubes around the plugs in sikaflex and bought new leads
(they come with distributer cap). Runs well now but still wouldn't idle
properly. I found the gearbox kickdown cable was way too loose, that seemed
to fix the idle though it still faulters a little with a/c on. Had tried to
idle it down as it seems too fast, but idle was not stable so I screwed it
back up. At least it doesn't stall now. Does your a/c idle solenoid make a
funny noise? mine has a weird air-sucking noise & I suspect it's not right,
but they are expensive and are not stocked at the local dealer here.

A common issue for that model is the ignition coil under the distributor
cap, it gets oil on it from a worn Oring gasket, remove the cap and
clean the coil, or it could just be a bad plug wire, replace them if
old. What you describe is the most common of camry problems of that
model.
