Mass airflow sensor $239.99 w/ $68 core at autozone (for fuel injected engine). If I'm not mistaken it's not that hard to change. I would suggest getting the chiltons or haynes repair manual and checking it out. I work at autozone and from what I've seen, they dont look that hard to replace....as long as you dont lose any screws in the process.
You figure that the shop will be charging $60 in labor if not more, so that means they have about 4-5 hours worth of labor that they are hitting you with. The repair manual will cost you 15 bucks... if you can turn a wrench, it's worth a shot.. to save yourself some money. Most importantly, use the right tools for the job.

just get a sensor...disconnected the battery to reset the computer..put on the new sensor reconnect the battery and you should be fine....the sensor should be about 200-300 dollars but the labour is over rated
