Year, mileage, condition and maintenance history please. 15 minutes at a time? I’d be inclined to want to check the fuel (pressure & regulator), the EVAP system (is the path through which it breaths in restricted…perhaps a clogged charcoal bed?), and perhaps even for an exhaust restriction (is it low on power when it’s runnong?) If it’s '96 or beyond you may have some stored fault codes. That might help. ---
