What will the car do if the timing belt or chain needs replaced on a 92 Toyota Camry?

The 1992 Toyota Camry uses timing belts. If it is an interference engine, it will probably run just fine up to the instant the timing belt breaks, at which point the valves, head, pistons and possibly even the engine block can be destroyed. But Gates, a timing belt manufacturer, lists the 3.0L V6 and 2.2L 4-cylinder on 1992 to 1997 model Camrys as non-interference. So, if the timing belt breaks, the engine will no longer run and you'll need to be towed somewhere for a new belt. It is unlikely that the belt failure will cause further damage, so getting the maintenance done on time isn't nearly as important as with an interference engine. The recommended replacement interval for these belts is 60,000 miles under severe service, such as in a taxi or police car, where a lot of idling is involved. There is no replacement recommendation for normal service, which most drivers fall under for this particular maintenance item. For normal service, 90,000 miles is a suitable interval since the same belt is used on 1998 to 2001 2.2L engines with a replacement interval of 90,000 miles.
