Angry o2 sensors in 2001 kia sportage HELP!

I have a 2001 Kia sportage with 93000 miles on it. I started having issues with about 2 weeks ago. When i have the car in drive and are at a stop sign, the car idles like it's gonna shut off. Then sluggishly takes off when I accelerate. This also happens in reverse. Park and neutral, nothing happens. I have replaced the 02 sensor before the cat, and now have been told there maybe 2 sensors? Where the heck is it? I can't see it under the kia. Or am I way off and it's something totally not with the o2 sensor?

I am a single mom and have personally myself replaced the spark plugs, timing belt (timed correctly), fuel filter, 1 o2 sensor, the air filter with a k&n filter, full tune up, upgrage gas to 89 and still it does it. It is not as bad as before, but now when I turn on the air and have car in drive, the car does it. When i turn air off, it's not so bad.
I am mechinally inclined, and have been doing this to save money.

Any ideas? I will try anything I can do myself
