Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok heres the problem, my car started up fine and ran but then i turned it off at a gas station, went to go start it back up and it started running funny. It was chugging, my rpms were going wacko and it wouldnt keep a steady idle. Im not really sure what the problem could be? I could step on the gas and nothing not even a raise in the rpms, and it even died a couple times, regardless it is not driveable! Could this be a battery problem or maybe the ignition module? Or is this more a fuel problem like maybe my fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator? Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!!
P.S. i didnt pull the codes cuz i dont have a paper clip and my friend who does have one is out of town, so maybe any ideas would be greatful, thanks again!

Your friend is the only person you know who has a paperclip? I find that hard to buy. Pull the codes and report back.
