Well my car has been actin funny when I would idle, the engine would seriously shake. Then it happend while I was going down the highway so I got a lil worried and took it to the dealership and they say my airfilter is clogged, I need a fuel filter, and throttle body and injector cleaned. Total's to $300+ which I am low on funds at the moment and also trying to move. So can someone GIVE me a couple g's?

It's at a dealership and I don't know how to all of it except the airfilter so i'm scrooooooooD.
These are not hard things to fix. Air filter you know how so I won't even go there.
Fuel filter. I think we have 2 on our cars but I know the easy one is by the gas tank. All you need is a pipe wrench (looks like a box end wrench with a side notched out) and another hand. Get your fuel filter from Autozone or the like. Be ready to plug the fuel line. Replacement filter is easier than stock.
You know what get a haynes manual. Real easy. 14 bux.

Fuel filter is near the rear of the gas tank, cost about $14-$17.00 and buy a can of penterate, if you see rust, should take you no more than 30 minutes, (1 hour if you have no floor jack)
as to why is shaking, possible is the filter clogged. Air induction cleaning is basically a can of high quality carb cleaner remove your intake tube and lightly spray and clean the butterfly valve in the TB. while running the car at the same time. If you cannot manage this part of the process take it to your local mechanic. Never ever take the car to the stealership unless you have no choice or unless it's wwarrantyed
