Default Car dies

Alright guys, I had a idle problem back then but i fixed it by cleaning IACV, FITV, and fiddling around with idle screw, my car ran great for a month or so, now i have very low idle again and when driving at night with lights on and music playing the idle is so low and my lights are dim, last weekend the car died and took a couple of tries to get it started then it died and then started again, could it be my alternator or battery? or spark plugs? i havent changed them yet. I checked and cleaned all grounds too

I would get your alternator checked out, they can test it for free
