Default Car misses. How much does dealer charge?

When my '95 318ti idles, it tends to miss. Also, when accelerating sometimes it
will also miss. I don't have much time to fix it and the BMW dealership in town
has a good reputation. How much should I expect to pay? $XXX per hour for X estimated hours? A ballpark figure?

Dealer charges $100+ per hour. Purchase a can of brake/parts cleaner(3 bucks @ your local auto parts store). With the engine running, spray brake cleaner on and around the ribbed rubber intake boot between the Air Flow Meter and the throttle body. Don't be shy, soak that mother. Try to get up underneath it as well as any vacuum hoses in the area. If you hear the idle rev up, you have a leak. Chances are, it's your intake boot, they're about $25 bucks.
