My car is 2009 6MT and has 25000km.

I got MIL light on the way home from gas station. The MIL light blinked at me around 60 MPH and the car immediately went into limp mode. The power was cut so severely (@ around 4000RPM) that I felt as if I was riding a motorcycle sipping it's last drop of gas in order to keep the engine running. I tried WOT with other gears, the power is keep cutting (feels like disengage gear by itself and rev doesn't go up when acceleration.) @ around 4000rpm. I restarted engine and checked idle and found that my idle stays @ 1K rpm never go below 1k rpm even engine is warm enough. I haven't scan the code yet. my guess is the fuel cap. but my Q is.. would loose fuel cap cause the happen that i said above?
