Either of which would throw a code that will do a better job of diagnosing the problem more efficiently than identifying all the parts under the hood that it could be
That was a fail, after a retiree couldn't get his scanner to come on
Need to hit a auto parts and have the codes read. I would also check your oil and coolant prior to going there.
When the computer goes into a limp home mode the ecu shuts down half of the cylinders for protection, low oil pressure or coolant. It also looks at the throttle position sensor (tps) with all the rain lately it could also be the reostate on your throttle (gas peddle), could be a bad connection or corrosion on them, or your tps connection.
Bottom line you need the code it created.

Headed to another store with an employee that might possibly know how to use said scanner

yup just go somewhere to pull the codes, just went into limp mode. could be caused by almost anything, my last one was egr valve but no real way to know without looking at the codes
This. Happened to my mom's CHEVY Malibu. Luckily she was able to drive it off the interstate and get a tow truck to take her to the dealership in Roanoke Va where she had to wait for 3 days. It wasn't covered under GM's warranty
Can't pull the codes because it's like there is no power to the port.
Checked all the fuses , charger and cigarette lighter works
