Default Problems with 88 dx

Hello, My 88 dx hatch has been bogging out while accelerating for awhile normally it was just when it was cold. But now its getting really violant jerking while accelerating. It also is now dieing out and haveing problems starting, where i have to keep my foot on the gas to get it to start. I replaced the alternator about 3 months ago which is when the rough accelration started. It was a junk yard replacement from a honda. Any help would be great.

Thanks
