Default did i cause any damage ?

i washed my car today . before i wash my car i always cover up my intake filter with a plastic bag . well when i was done washing the car i forgot to take off the bag . and i went a head and turned on the car and try to pull off but i had really low power . seconds after i realized i forgot to take off the bag off the filter . so i shut the car off and i take off the bag . and found out the filter was sucked in in the middle of the filter . ive done this twice . did i damage anything ?

well i didnt suck the filter into the intake pipe . it just lost its cone shape . the filter was still in the same spot but the filter got sucked in in the middle . i fixed the filter by sticking my hand inside the filter and pusshing it out . did i cause any damages ?

Yeah, don't bother with the bag anymore. Unless of course you're washing under the hood...
