It sounds like a rode knocking in a 360. Cleared code but comes back if I drive longer than ten minutes. When the engine temp
Starts to climb the idle drips off. At mid range temp the idle is so low the engine has cut off before

A compression test may be in your future but have you checked for vacuum leaks? Start simple and think, fuel, spark, and fire.
