3rd Generation 1995 Camry "Power light", engine stalling

just recently, I was stopped at a light, the engine just cut out. No vibrating, no running rough. just plain died. Had been running for about 15min in 70 degree weather. Is this a sensor problem? Bad gas- mixture problem? just put in new radiator.
Thanks!

Is the check engine light on? Which engine? How many miles on the car? Any maintainance history available?

If the check engine light is not on I would start by doing a throttle body cleaning, paying particular attention to spraying the cleaner liberally down in to the square or diamond shaped hole in the base of the throttle body. That hole leads to the idle air control valve where your problem may exist. Here's a DIY thread with some good pictures of the process on the 4 cylinder 5SFE engine. The V6 should be similar:

Thanks, Mike. I appreciate it. No, the check engine light hasn't come on. The Camry is a 4cyl, with 122K on it. I cleaned out the throttle body late last year, performed a tune-up on the car. I bought it second hand, with about 112k on it at the time. After the cleaning, it ran great, no dying. Before the cleaning, it died on me a few times. So mabye clean it out again?
The previous owner didn't have records as to maintenance done on the car
