I can't imagine that air horn would cause that. First thing to check would
be the basics, as in the cam timing, unplug the O2 and see if that makes a
difference. The overheating in tandem has me wondering if the car starts
running lean which causes it to overheat, or if the overheating is causing a
loss of power?
