Last one first:
"Also when I try to start the car it always chugs and I have to hold the gas for a few seconds to get it to stay running and then it is fine."
Is this only in the morning? If so it could be a simple check valve down by the fuel pump and your gas is draining back into the tank. Turn the key to on in the morning, wait for 5 seconds, then start it. If that works, get a new check valve.

Now, your first problem:

Is the battery dead, dead, like in just getting a click when you try to start it? Or is there nothing, no dash warning lights, totally dead? (could it be your switch is going bad?) Does your glove box close all the way, ditto the trunk light? How old is your battery? Have you trickle charged it lately or do you just jump start the car? Recheck all of the ground wires for positive contact.
