Default 89 civic hatchback dx - cuts out while driving

hi. i was wondering if aynone had any ideas about this.. my car cuts out (doesn't respond to pedal, doesnt accelerate, check engine light comes on) while accelerating after slowing down (stop lights, turns). if i do nothing it does, but if i keep on the gas it jerks back to accelerating after a second.. this was last night, and now it won't even turn over, just makes the noise like it's trying to but doesn't. anyone ever have similiar problem?

it just had an ignition switch changed because it would die after starting. before that, it wouldnt start at all, so the old alarm that was in it (i'm not the original owner) was taken out.

thanks for any help.. i really want to fix this, i love this car..

sounds like your voltage is down. your battery may be loosing voltage after the car is started and running or it could be your alternator not charging your battery.
