to the forums!

You could get yourself a code reader, then we could help diagnose the issue(s).

Welcome to the site, this could be incorrect spark plugs installed. Clogged fuel injectors , bad gas, fuel lines should be replaced, not cut out the rusty parts!
so, let’s start with , is the check engine light on ?

Check engine is on and was before it stopped running but all the codes were EVAP

Like for the EVAP purge valve up under the hood? Test it , it should be closed, you shouldn’t be able to blow air through it.

Which of the 10 EVAP codes?

Oldblue

That’s it , one bolt, two hoses and 1 electrical plug. Try and blow air through it.
