My '95 Camry LE just started having issues with acceleration after it has been running for a couple of minutes. I could be driving 40 MPH or at a red light. Once I try to accelerate, it starts to cut-off power and just continues to slow down, sometimes trying to accelerate slightly. I've been able to shut the car off for a few minutes, then restart, and sometimes it will go, while other times it will continue with slight attempts to accelerate. I have been able to put the car in Neutral or Park and push down on the accelerator and the car will rev.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

is your temperature gauge moving at all? are you overheating?

A few suggestions: Get the fuel pressure tested > Pour in a can of fuel conditioner or injector cleaner or both at the next fill up > If you have a distributor you should still be able to check the timing adjustment with a timing light > Remove the air duct from the throttlebody and clean using a spray throttlebody cleaner > Inspect all the battery, battery ground, engine to chassy ground, coil, and whatever sensor connections you can find and make sure they are tight and not corroded.

Are you seeing a Check Engine light? Did this start all of a sudden or has it crept up on you? Any maintenance performed lately?

What is your car's maintenance history: plugs, wires, distributor cap?

I'll try to answer your questions....

The check engine light hasn't come on, there hasn't been any issues with overheating, and the acceleration loss just started about a week ago. We acquired the car about a year ago and have only driven it for roughly 3K miles (it has 178K miles on it). I replaced the battery in June and had the engine mounts, as well as a CV joint boot replaced in October.

I'm not aware of the last time the plugs, wires, etc. were replaced. I'll have to check the connections when I get home tonight.

I did put a bottle of dry gas in over the weekend with a full tank. But when it was driven Tuesday night, it continued to "act up".

Good chance it is your ignition coil.
