Default EG hatch KEEPS DYING!? WTF?

Alright guys, I haven't been on HT for a while, so just bare with me.

I have a 93 hatch on the loose and it just won't work for me. I'm pretty damn sure it's some type of electrical problem, but I can't specifically put my finger on it.

The first time it died on me was a month or so ago. I was coming from my buddy's house and out of nowhere the car was bogging while I was driving and I had to keep the rpms up to keep the car running. So, I dipped home and when I let go of the gas, it died. I figured it was the fuel pump, so I changed it. After I changed it, it didn't start up. So I was like, "Eff, dogg. What the hell?" I then decided to jump the battery and whaddaya know? It starts. I take it around the block, I feel the bogging again, the car was dying. I get home so pissed. I noticed that the lights were dimming so I take the alternator to Autozone and the alternator failed the inspection test. I get a new one after that, install it, jump the car. It starts. And it stays on for quite a while, so I drove it to work for a day or so, then boom. The dying comes back, now I was really pissed. Figured it was the alternator so I got it replaced under the warranty, AND ON TOP OF THAT ****, I was so fed up I just bought another battery.

Guess what?
Same **** was still happening...... I don't even know what to say. My baby's just sitting outside.

Anyone have any clue what's going on? I'm pretty sure it's not the main relay, but if anyone thinks otherwise, just let me know. I'm open to ideas.

Thanks for anything.

Test the resistance between each motor ground and the negative battery terminal. Does the starter ever sound weak or struggle, especially compared to how it starts when jumped? Check for drains on the battery. Try priming the fuel system three times before starting and post if it makes any difference. Replace the fuel filter if it is due. List any mods.
