need some help in chino hills area

I was wondering if someone could help me pull some codes off my car in the chino hills area. my car went into limp mode yesterday after filling up gas at the grapevine, and my whole dash was lit up in lights(VDC, Slip, Check Engine Soon). ive searched to see what the problem might be, but everyone has had different problems when the lights came on for them.

the symptoms of my car is that its very hard to start the car. it takes at least 5 seconds of cranking before the car fires up. once the car is on, it idles perfectly fine. when i am driving the car, there is absolutely no power(im assuming this is because its in limp mode). other than that, i did not see anything wrong in the engine bay. The engine is full of clean oil, brake fluid is topped off and clean, and all belts are still intact.

This occured immediately after i filled up gas at the grapevine. before this, the car drove perfectly fine for over 200 miles from norcal, with no hesitation of cruising at 100mph

I tried calling Autozone to see if they would help me pull the codes, but they were of no help and told me I had to buy a scanner tool from them. I already have a scanner tool, but unfortunately its at my house in norcal...so i dont want to buy another one.

You could have gotten some bad gas. maybe add some octane boost. or some kind of injector cleaner with your next tank of gas.
