If i stomp the gas it will bog, then rev up. If i start pushing the pedal slowly it revs fine.

There or mainly three things that can make the engine bog under load, a clogged catalytic converter, and bad MAF sensor or a weak fuel pump. Here are guides to help you figure out which one is the problem and I have included instructions on the part replacement in the images below.
