Can you pop the clutch and start it? Any electrical issues, like no dash lights, or radio? Check your grounds, especially the one behind the head to firewall.

I used to have an issue with my battery being drained and it was the stoplight switch (brake lights). I parked in a garage and didn't notice my brake lights were always ON due to mis-adjustment.

Yea my dash lights won't work and my radio will only sometimes play. But I will make sure I look into the ground you mentioned to rule that out.

And it does turn on if I push to start

Know that just because the volt meter read a good ammount of voltage doesnt mean the battery is good.
Bogging is commonly related to maf issues

Check the output of the alternator.
When mine was dying, the car did some weird stuff, especially with the lights.

If the car idles, probe the battery with a multimeter and make sure it's getting at least 14.2v with all accessories and lights off
