Sluggish Acceleration & Little Power!

Hello Guys!

I have encountered a problem with my car engine. I noticed the car was not putting out enough power. When I press on the gas pedal aka accelerator the car drives real slow or sluggish; it seems like there's something clogged. I recently replaced the alternator which was draining the car battery. Since then the car starts up without any problem. I assumed its the EGR valve. The original EGR valve was quite carboned up but the used one from the junk yard didn't do much justice to the problem.

Additionally, the car is rough idling which I believe was due to bad gasoline. ANY ADVICES OR SUGGESTIONS WILL BE EXTREMELY HELPFUL!!

P.S. - Catalytic converter was struck by curb and heat shield was damage. Everything seems to be intact!
