Can you ball park the cost of replacing the fuel injectors?

The van has a lot of miles, all mine, and I have had a lot of work dome the last six months. The last time we were in I got new calipers and the idle motor(?) Replaced. It had been hesitating, running very rough. However, I still had the same problem the next day. The managers said, oops, guess it's the injectors. They said they would credit the labor for the idle thing, but I wonder if they will then just charge more for injectors. It already sounds like a huge deal. I have to leave the van overnight.

Autozone wants $99 per injector. Try running a fuel system cleaner through the tank first. If that doesn't work, disconnect the coil wire from each spark plug singly. When you find the cylinder that doesn't cause the engine to run worse when you disconnect it, you found the cylinder with the bad injector. Unless it is trashed, I'd bet that running a good fuel system cleaner through the tank will help.

Oh, it shouldn't take more than 20 minutes or so per injector to remove and replace.
