Started car without air filter...aHH!!
I started my car just now forgetting to put the filter on, and the AFM was unplugged (because i had to remove my intake/heatshield to get to something)
...My car was bouncing all over the place and running rough, i didnt know what the hell was going on til i remembered, i donno is it possible i could have sucked a leaf or anything like that into the intake? it was only on for like 5 seconds til i realized.. i hope i didnt suck somethign in there and ruin my brand new 2400$ engine.

haha, ouch I remember that. I thought it was a suck.
You're engine's fine, I've started the car with just the afm and no filter on the end when I was playing around working on the car.

Hell Ive driven without a air filter, it was only for a short while but it fell off. Well attached now. As long as its not a rock or something very hard, it shouldnt cause too much damage. Most everything will get burned up in the motor, but a small rock can cause some problems.
