Whenever I drive vehicle loses power then shut off. After 5 to 10 minutes it started again and drive again.

Good morning,

Does the transmission shift okay?

Can you rev up the engine in neutral?

I would start by checking the fuel pressure. Low pressure from a failing fuel pump will cause this issue.
