I have a car that is stalling and no one seems to be able to figure out what it is

I have a 1999 Honda Civic that is continually stalling. It stalls specifically at red lights, or when I'm going slower around a corner. The battery ran down one night and after jumping it it has since becoming increasingly worse. It is now stalling to the point where it is undrivable. It has had a coil replaced, the 02 sensor, the exhaust manifold, the starter, the computer, and spark plugs. An automatic car starter has been removed. I can't keep spending money on this vehicle as I am a college student, so I really need help (and a working car!)

What if you give it some gas, does this stop the stall?

It did originally, but now it stalls constantly. We couldn't drive it to the mechanic and had to have it towed. It has been in the shop for a week and is still not fixed. We are going to take it to a Honda dealership (probably what we should've originally done)
