need help with engine issue

have an 88 bronco 302, and it starts fine, just had tune up and vacuum lines replaced and after driving it for about 30 minutes, the engine loses power and makes a popping sound. It drives still but at a low speed. like 15 to 20 mph. After I turn it off for about 30 minutes it works fine again. Any ideas?

I haven’t checked. I saw there’s a way to get codes off the check engine light with a jumper. I’ll try that. I also just noticed there isn’t a breather or cap on the valve cover opposite the pcv valve side.

Didn't see this post until today....

This sounds like a clogged fuel filter.
