Well I'm lost

So I'm sitting at work Friday night and needed to charge my phone so I went to the car to plug it in. After awhile I decided to start the car let it run for awhile and it got up to normal temp and died. Kinda bogged a little bit jumped up and down on the tach then nothing just died. Didn't start for a long time like an hour or so then it started and I went home. Got home turned it off now it won't start at all my boost gauge is stuck at zero whether the key is on or off. If I do get it started it jumps up and down on the tach struggles then dies.


I've tried disconnecting the battery, checked my fuses, cleaned my tb, no vacuum lines that I can see disconnected I'm lost guys
