idles rough then dies

ok i'm new to this website so i'd like to say hi to everyone...hi...anyway. The other day my car started to stumble when i turned it on i had to keep my foot on the gas to keep it running then when i let off it would fall a little under idle then would die if i didn't put my foot on the gas pedal. I can cruise in it fine but when its running at a low speed it starts to stumble and my battery gauge starts to fall into the red i guess thats cause the cars dying...but on two occasions i have turned the car off and all of the power went off no lights radio went off and i turned the car back on and it would stumble but then i could turn it off and the lights and radio would work and the first time it did that the radio lost all its settings...if anyone knows anything please help!!!!! one more thing i have been hearing a aluminum sound for like a month it sounds like a coke can bouncing up and hitting my car and then it stops but it does it when i slow down quicker than normal or have it wot but doesn't always do it. its a very random sound and it is a noticable sound when you hear it....on a happier note i was going to get my car repainted at my shop next week......but i guess not

Check the SES light, since the there could be another code in there besides the missing cats. Have you checked all your battery connections, good and tight with little to no corrossion? Alternator connections good? Fuses?
