Make sure the catlytic converter is not plugged up. That can make them bog down really bad and usually does not set an error code. If you can unbolt it where the exhaust goes in and wire it up to test the theory.

My 04 chevy cavalier won't start after head gasket replacement cranks with loud bass pop from speakers
You obviously have an electrical short, Power seems to be pulling directly off engine to sound system somehow. Never heard this one before. First thing I'd do is check where wire is feeding to sound system and eliminate it.

POWER !
check your transmission fluid levels they may be low, and replace the spark plugs you know give it a good tune up! wires, air filter, fluids, clean throttle body, IAC sensor, check for Vacuum leaks; like cracked hoses that lead to your map sensor or EGR valve etc.
