Might be worthwhile checking your timing belt in case it's jumped .But other possible causes .Could check basics like plugs also but probably best to get it scanned .May even be cat convertor .

as whittinghame says make sure the exhaust isnt blocked sometimes the catalyst can twist inside the box causing it to not let the exhaust gases out. if you disconnect the ehaust just before the catalytic converter you should be able to see inside
