Our 1993 Camry suddenly developed a poor power problem, with the engine running choppily. The first thing that comes to mind is that it might be bad plugs and/or plug wires.
Is there an easy way to verify this...or do you have any other ideas of what it might be?
Thanks,

Does it bailout under acceleration? Fuel starvation. If so the fuel filter maybe so blocked it cant supply fuel as needed, but can at lower demands. If it keeps accelerating but roughly, it maybe ignition brakdown. All the high voltage components are possible: cap, coil, leads. Oftern substitution is the only way to fix an intermittant spark loss problem.

Check the electrical resistance of the plug wires, should not exceed 25K ohms each.
Update:
Thanks for the advice. Took it to a shop, because we were very busy and couldn't take the time to work on this ourselves. Wound up being plugs and wires. Paid through the nose (of course), but at least it's fixed!
Glad you found it. I suspect these thin leads are failing to often for their novelty to be worth it.
I haven't checked but they maybe shielded spark leads to eleiminate radio interference??
