My car all of a sudden lost power while I was driving home. Now all I can do is drive 50km/h. It won?t switch to the next gear. It is a automatic. I was wondering if u think it is a sensor or what do you think is wrong with my transmission.

At 50km/h, is the engine speed very high as if it needs to be in a higher gear or is the engine speed low for the road speed?
How many Km on the odometer?
When is the last time the transmission fluid was changed?
When is the last time the spark plugs, ignition wires, distributor, cap, and rotor were changed?
Is the engine carbureted or fuel injected?
Sounds like something broke and it went into "limp mode"
Turn the O/D "ON" and see if the O/D light flashes. You have to jumper the "Diagnostic" block under the hood, turn the ignition on and count the flashes. Google "Toyota Transmission Fault Codes" to get the jumper settings and flash codes.
