stalling

What is your question?

My corolla wants to stall at stoplights, i have to either put it in neutral, or give it s little gas while sitting still to keep it running. the check engine light doen not come on. 3 garages have had it- no one can figure out the problem.

If this happens all the time, I'm confused as to how 3 shops can't address this. Do they have any recommendations? Have they checked the idle speed control system?

the first guy checked the map sensor, and oxygen sensor.the next guy said it needed a distributor, the third guy had looked at it before and said it didn't need a distributor, to bring it back to him. he replaced the fuel pump and filter, "cleaned out" everything-whatever that means- and gutted my catalyic converter. he drove it a couple miles before i picked it up, said it didn't try to die on him, but it started doing it again as soon as i got it home.

Sounds like the shop gutted out more than your catalytic converter. I would take it back to that shop and ask them to stand behind the work that was just performed, ask why it didn't address the problem.
