I once had a place charge me $150 (2 hrs labor) to diagnose a hunting idle problem. Problem was that they couldn't pinpoint the problem and proposed to start swapping parts. I told them that I had paid for a diagnosis and did not get an answer, and given that the amount of work done did not add up to 2 hrs of labor (pulled the car in and plugged it into the tech2) I tried to negotiate a compromise on diagnosis charge. They wouldn't budge. Needless to say, I've never been back and I've never recommended the place to anyone else.
A local shop thoroughly cleaned the AIC and throttle body, which took care of the problem. And they only charged me for labor.
