The alternator wouldn't, but it's probably not the alternator:

It sounds like you have a loose belt. If the alternator is not charging the battery it can cause ignition problems. Put a volt meter parallel to the battery (POS/NEG). If it is charging it should go over 14 volts and then the regulator kicks in if its not it should have low voltage ### it's not charging.
