Lost power as in when the gas was pushed it didn't want to move or like
electricity power?

Guesswork at best, start by changing fuel filter [s]
Good fuel flow is important. Ignition problems usually have a feel of their
own. { Engine shakes, hard starting, frequent stalls } The best test for a
fuel system is to climb a steep hill. If the engine cuts out climbing hill,
probably a fuel problem. Another clue for fuel filter is highway driving,
if you drive for an hour or so, than have power loss, could be filter.
Driving around town gives filter a chance to " catch up " with demand.
Steady highway driving = steady demand for fuel.

AW comon.. There is no float bowl in a fuel injected engine. Fuel supply has
to be constant in the loop...

I believe that my 97 Bravada does the same thing.

The behavior I have noticed seems to be heat related, but I have not yet
figured out exactly how. It started last summer, after 20 minutes of
driving,
followed by about 20 minutes of being shut off, another 10 minutes of
driving
it would die. Switching the ignition off, then starting it, it would be fine
for a few
minutes, then die again.

On a 150 mile trip, daytime, AC on, it was fine until the last 10 miles,
then, at
70 MPH, it just died. Switch off (still rolling down the interstate) then
restart,
run fine, but die again in 10 minutes. The trip back, at night, cool enough
for no AC,
it got all the way back without a problem.

No trouble codes, no warning lights, nothing. My best guess right now is the
crank
sensor, but it is only a guess.

iit lost power as in gas :-(

i know it sounds funny, but remove the battery cables and clean them good.
real good even though they look good on the outside.
fixed my 1999 tahoe with exactly same symptoms.
the starter would even turn over good, so i thought no way, but it solved
the problem.
This was shown to me in another group first.

the 

you know, my car did kinda the same thing, only it would die randomly..
turned out it was the fuel pump.

Then the car would hesitate and sputter up hills, and on trips .. I replaced
the fuel filter .. no difference, change out the plug wires, poof, life was
back into my horses (then I decided to change the plugs for the hell of it)
