The engine runs fine for an hour or so when first started then while driving out of nowhere try to accelerate and the engine bogs out, no power. so, stop turn off engine restart immediately and engine runs fine again for 15 minutes or so.

Does the check engine light come on? If so, we need to scan for codes, you can get a code scanner from Amazon for about $20.00.

Here is a guide/video to show you how:

It sounds like the PCM, or fuel pump is going out. Here is how you can change them both out in the diagrams below in case you need them. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.
