Good morning,

Little battery power? Please explain?

Does the battery drain overnight?

As far as the engine, it could be from a low voltage as you need to resolve the battery issue first.

Also check the air filter housing for any obstructions on the filter side. Some people like to remove the air filter housing while replacing the battery and either forget to plug in the mass airflow sensor or they don't latch the housing together correctly and bugs/debris enter the mass airflow sensor and cause chaos. Just another thought.
