I have a pontiac grand am 1995 and it doesn't stay running when I start it in the morning and night and it doesn't matter if it's cold or warm.I have had it to the repair shop 6 times and they tell me that it's not doing it for them and it's okay. I don't beleive them it's very flusterating. What could it be a senor?

If you don't trust shops, you have to do testing yourself, when the problem is ongoing. How long since a tune-up? Any applicable trouble codes. If it only stalls at idle, clean the throttle-body and check the iac/idle air control. I can't tell much without testing.
