Default first it wouldnt idle...now it wont start...HELP!!

alright, so i was driving the other day on the expressway in traffic and everytime i would throw my car into neutral my RPM's would drop all the way down to zero and my car would stall out...my car just would not idle...

so then, i got home and went out for evening in another car...in the morning i drove my car for awhile and all was great...

a few hours later i went to start my car and now it wont start at all...i have electricity but my car just wont start...i turn the key and there is just one click and thats it...at first it seemed like it wanted to turn over but as i kept trying to start it it seemed weaker and weaker...

what could the problem be???

PLEASE HELP!!!!

If your saying that the engine turns slower and slower sounds like your battery's done. You also said that the car stalled out on the road. Have your alternator check out to see if it's still good.
