My car acts like its running out of gas and boggs down, it hasn't quit running and the check engine light hasn't came on, ive replaced both the air and fuel filter, had diaganostic test ran at garage but nothing shows up, I can run it around town for 15-20 mins and then it acts up what could be the problem cause money is very limited right now.

I'll be nice if we had some code/s for a starting point-Lack of acceleration, chugging, hesitating, jerking, bogging, misfiring etc. Could be caused by one of the following below

Oxygen sensor.
Catalytic converter.
Fuel injectors dirty/sticking.
Mass airflow sensor/Airflow meter.
Throttle position sensor.
Crankshaft position sensor
Knock sensor
Manifold absolute pressure sensor.
EGR Valve
Fuel pressure regulator leaking or defective fuel pump.
False air leakage.
Fuel contamination.
Foul/defective spark plugs.
Open spark plug wires.
Ignition coil/Coil packs defective.
Incorrect ignition timing.
Cap and rotor.

Note:If it doesn't apply disregard it
