Well story goes that I could not figure out what was wrong with my Gf's Focus, the car would have trouble starting when cold and would not idle until warm. So I took the car to ford and the list came up. They said they needed to change the fuel filter which I already have sitting at home, they need to service the fuel injectors and replace the IAC motor. For all this it was $600. Now my question is this, what really needs to be done. I looked in my haynes book and for cold starts they said fuel system and fuel filter. Does the IAC motor really have to be changed? The car idles fine when warm, I was guessing just a restricted fuel flow. I can find a set of brand new fuel injectors for $200, and change them myself and that sounds a lot better than $600 for cleaning old injectors. Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I know ford has a habit of changing things not in need of change, i.e. my front springs for a worn cv joint.
