1992 Geo Metro Front Wheel Drive Automatic 127000 miles

I have a 92 Geo Metro. It starts and idles fine. The problem is the more electical things I turn on the engine starts to idle down and eventually die. It is fine as long as I don't turn on multiple things. If I just turn on the lights you can hear the idling go down, and then if I turn on the heater fan it makes it go down more. What could be causing this problem? Thanks Gary

Sounds like your alternator is week and is unable to keep the battery charged. First check for corrosion on the cables. Theres also a few places that will check your alternator for free.
Keep in contact and let me know what happened.
