hey there i just got some questions, ok this is how the story goes, yesterday i was cruisin at the cinco de mayo thing, and some mexicans wanted to race and shit, so they ask to let them look at my engine, i opened the hood, and right away they notice that i was missin my air filter (CAI), then i go back home , and put the car in the garage, so the thing is that today i found out that i had been driving the car for like 100 miles withouth the filter, cause i found the filter today, in my parkint spot at work, all messed up , so the question is, what kind of problems can it cause, i mean i know dirt got in my engine and carp, what might happen to car? i haven't noticed any changes in acceleration yet,
thanks
thanks

i hope you put a new filter on!
you cant burn dirt in your combustion chamber. you could have some heavly saturated deposits from your throttle body through your exhaust manifold. i'd pull the intake off and look at the TB to see how dirty it is. i dont know what you can do to clean it out without pulling out the wrenches.
