Only concurrent symptom with the loss of power appears to be the engine fan on more than usual. That indicates high temperature. High temperature could be related to a failure of a catalytic converter. Symptom would be reduced power. Worth checking anyway.

Don't understand why OP would idle for 45 minutes. Not good for the engine.
