Still idles rough and misses

I have a 2000 ZX2 and have been having issues for months.
It has about 75K miles and has never given me issues before.
I had the tirod ends replaced and the tranny flushed in April. Shortly thereafter the engine light came on. It has benn on "perma-burn" since.
I get the oil changed regularly and did a tune up (wirses and plugs) in the fall.
It had been idling rough and stalling at stop lights... I replaced the fule filter (because that is what Autozone said it was). Still ran like crap!
I then replaced the Mass Air-flow sensor and air filter (because that is what Autonzone said it was). Still runs like crap!
I took it back to Autozone and now they say it's the Air intake temperature sensor... I asked the guy where it was... It took four of us and 20 minutes to fail to find the part on my car!
Anybody got any ideas as to what I need to to change, or where this temperature sensor thing is?
I am ready to set my car on fire, push it to the East Side, and call the insurance company and tell them it was stolen!!!
I have heard O2 sensor, EGR valve, Coil Pack....
Someone please help... I am desperate!

dude i think they guys at autozone are gona wear out your bank car soon.
After they didnt fix it the first time take it to a different shop.
I had a simular problem amd had to replace the o2 hego on the exaust. The problem still when on so i talked to my buddy at the ford shop and he said that after you replace any sensor you need to reset the ecu.
