Question Car runs fine for about twenty minutes...

Hi gang. My 2003 Cavalier 4 cylinder has been a good car but in the last two weeks has a new problem. I start to work and it runs fine, but after about 20 minutes it seems to have about 25% power and shifts very rough (automatic). By accident I discovered that if you turn the car off for a minute and restart it the cycle starts over again. I don't want to start throwing money at this thing and was hoping someone had a similar situation or idea.
