I would need more info, but here are some ideas. I do not know the vehicle, however, if it has a catalytic converter, it may be suspect. It sounds like a situation that is happening after warm up, which a cat, would do.

My second though would be your EGR. Exhaust, Gas, Recirculation. It recirculates exhaust through the motor, to burn any unburned fuel. Since exhaust goes through this, it clogs, often.

Thirdly, I have had excperiences where the auto trans., is slipping after warm up. Check the fluid level, and service it. When they change the filter, look for an excessive amount of clutch material in the pan. Some, is normal. Smell the fluid. If it smells burned, investigate further, with professional help.

There are so many other things that, combined, would do the same. A tune up, carb rebuild, or injector cleaning, ect.

What would cause 1998 Chevy lumina to lose power after running for few minutes?

If the loss of power is sudden in only a few minutes, turn it off. If it starts back up and runs fine for a few minutes the loses power, it could be fuel starvation, check the fuel system for pressure, and change the fuel filter. If it starts up with the loss of power, and the engine has to cool down before it runs fine again it could be something electrical that is overheating and breaking down. Check the ignition coils.
