So many possibilities. Fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator, bad sensor input (map, cam, crank), timing, EVAP, just on and on, you need to get more info, is there a check engine light on?

It had needed to be jumped for the past few weeks and even after driving for a long period of time it sits half hour or longer and has to be jumped again but has ran fine until today and in the middle of a long trip it lost power and died. After a few minutes we jumped it and it ran but with hardly any power wouldn't go over 5 or 10 mph before dying again
