Rad Cap, blown headgasket-and something that makes the engine works hard. Also try the catalytic converter for no power.

Suggested Repair

Check the radiator cap and test for a blown head gasket, plus any condition making the engine work hard. Also inspect the catalytic converter for restriction causing the lack of power.
