I have had several things replaced on this car already. Taken to three different shops but I don't have the credit to get a new car. I've gotten ignition coils done, spark plugs done, fuel filter done (air filter and battery were already done a few months ago), I think it's called the idle sensor done. My ETS off light has been on since I've had the car but I don't think thats the problem, I've also had an oil leak somewhere in the head gasket. Been told it could be a vacuum leak or timing chain, both have been checked. Maybe one of my sensors? But I don't know enough about cars to which one it could be. I'm to broke to keep playing guessing games...help?

You don't say what your car is doing, is it rough/stumbling at idling? Is your check engine light on? Take you car to an Autozone, or equivalent, and have it checked for codes. Could be a MAF sensor going bad.
It hasn't got any lights on. It used to stall out when I turn off the air conditioning or sometimes just on its own then the battery and oil light would come on but once I started fixing things it would only idle low. Like it would move back and forth between where its suppose to be and then acting like it would die on me at a stop. When I checked codes at one shop they replaced a ignition coil cause that's what the code said was misfiring.

why are you going to different shops, if they fix it and you still have a problem you should be going back to them. All we can do is make guesses over the internet. Are you picking shops with ASE, Automotive Service Excellance, certified mechanics? You can find them on the link below.
