I really have a hard time starting my car. It is not the battery, When you finally get it staqted, it only runs while idling or on flat surfaces. The minute you step on the gas, it bogs down and the stops running.

Those are evap and evap small leak which is for your emission system. Could even be a loose or bad gas cap nothing to do with starting and running.I would start by checking your spark plugs have they ever been changed they get changed every 100,000 miles.I would also check your fuel pressure. Let me know what you find
