It can. The leaking gas cap is preventing the fuel tank to establish the proper positive pressure levels that the emission systems rely upon to operate correctly. A leaking gas cap will also cause the vehicle to fail its emissions tests. The leaking cap is also putting excess vapors into the environment. Replace that cap ... they are not that expensive.
The most typical cause of a vacuum leak is a cracked vacuum hose. The hoses get brittle with age, and cracks are common.
Most common cause of unusually high fuel comsumption is a fuel leak. Other possiblities include leaking injectors, faulty O2 sensor, vacuum leak or incorrectly adujsted intake valve.

I can't speak directly for a Toyota, but if you have a carberated system then you could be having problems with a leaking vacume hose or something in your EGR valve.
If you have a hot water system the plumbing is expanding and retracting as the pipes heat up and cool down. If it was leaking water it would have shown up by now.
If a fitting is leaking and the system is evacuated to a deep vacuum, the vacuum pump will struggle to reach and maintain the desired vacuum level, and the system will not hold the vacuum pressure. This can lead to moisture and air infiltration into the system, which can cause performance issues and potentially damage system components. It is important to fix the leak before evacuating the system to ensure proper operation.
Because you have a vacuum leak in the system or your vacuum canister is leaking. When you accelerate the vacuum from the engine will drop. That will cause your system to loose vacuum and the floor/defrost door will go to its neutral position. To keep the vacuum up you have a canister that will hold vacuum. It must be air tight.
P1443 Evaporative Emission Control System - Vacuum System - Purge Control Solenoid or Purge Control Valve fault Loose or defective gas cap will cause this code.
Not likely but possible. I would suspect a leaking vacuum hose.
No.
Low vacuum, an external leak, or a leaking vaccum check valve are the only causes.Low vacuum, an external leak, or a leaking vaccum check valve are the only causes.
more than likely you have a leaking vacuum line. some of those lines are really thin, and the smallest puncture will cause a loss of vacuum.
vacuum or air intake hose leaking or disconnected or loose...? good luck:)
Yes, a leaking air valve in your system can cause issues such as reduced efficiency, loss of pressure, and potential damage to other components.
A common cause for a stalling 1996 Honda Civic is a vacuum leak. Check the vacuum diagram for the vehicle and is if there are any leaking air lines.
A leaking heater core will cause the engine to overheat because the coolant is leaking out.
you must have air leaking into the exhaust system that will cause backfire when you decelerate raw gas goes into the system
