camry v-6 running bad

I own a 1992 V-6 Camry 3VZ-FE.Ive changed the spark plugs,cap and rotor.The wires is coming in from spark plugs.com and it is the NGK type.It starts fine and once it gets to normal temperature the motor starts to idle down and when applying throttle it gets worse.It has no power to go.The timing is okay and I changed the oil and filter.On the road the car wont move like normally.What do I need to change or check?

Try pulling your negative battery terminal off before you go to bed one night and in the morning recconect it. My 1MZ-FE used to lose around 50% power randomly after 4,000 rpm's, then I tried pulling the negative terminal off for a while and put it back on and it ran perfectly normal. Also, at warmer temperatures, the car is supposed to idle lower, around 800 rpm's. If it's lower than that...then you probably have some issues.

3rd Generation

I fixed the problem by replacing the wires with some nice NGK hyper silicone Power cables.I do run a cold air intake,so I replaced the Air filter with a new one.The car still ran rough so I figured it out and talk to some of my friends about it and found out that my Cataylic Converter was clogged so I punched it out and put it back on and now the car runs really fine.

try cleaning the throttle body if the issues come back, dirty TBI and IAC makes the symptoms you describe.
