Could it be a blown head gasket?

dont think so. no fumes or anything. i re-adjusted my fuel cap and drove home (1min away only). Did some research could our yaris have this ?
-- " on my car (2004 Subaru WRX), a loose filler cap will trigger a check engine light and the limp home mode. The engine computer will drop into a mode where it won't allow revs above a low limit and disallows all boost. Suddenly, you're in a 8:1 compression ratio car and aren't able to get out of your own way on the highway. This isn't a gradual switch, either. All of a sudden, you feel like you're going backwards through rush hour traffic...." |

Were you trying to link us something? Sounds like your motor just started misfiring randomly. Have you done anything else to the car that would cause this to happen?

Great to hear you got that resolved! Guess I should look into it if I ever have this problem!
