Did it make any wierd sounds when it, started to cut out? This usually caused by one of 2 things, either the electronic modules in top cam gears have went bad or and most probable he reused the old hydraulic tensioner and it failed after running a few minutes. I have learned the hard way a couple of times on this motor, you always replace the water pump and timing belt and tensioners, if not it will jump time and bend all the valves.
