"Not sure how to get the code you mentioned. The coil is original."
Your 1996 car is OBDII. That means you need an OBDII code reader to retireve the codes. That is, assuming the check engine light is on. If it is on, places like Autozone will read the code(s) for free. If so, go to Autozone and get the codes read. Write down the exact codes (not what the clerk tells you he thinks you need to replace) and report the codes back here. Someone will be able to give you some direction.
As far as the coil, if it is the original one (you don't give mileage on the car) that could definitely be the problem. They can cause problems when warm if they have lot's of mileage on them. You need to take a reading on the coil with a digital volt/ohmeter and the specs from any manual. If you don't have a manual, you can download one for free at the top of the Camry forum over at AutomotiveForums.com. Download the generation 3 manual. I would also remove the coil from the distributor and visually inspect it for cracks. A cracked coil is another known problem with this generation of Camrys.
