Drivng without an Air Filter
What kind of problems can this cause?
Can it dirty the IAC?
What other sensors?
Possibly clogged a coolant line in tb or no?
Please help.

Bad! Very bad! 
You really don't want foreign objects in your combustion chamber. I don't know why your car is lacking a filter, but do not drive it until you get one!

I've been driving w/o one for 10k+ without any problems. so long as there is an air box, that eliminates most anything foriegn going into your motor, but for the sake of safety, replace yours

Re: Drivng without an Air Filter (deepnite)
I already know its not good,it wasnt intentional,I was just asking if the IAC or any other sensors can go bad because of the dirt.

Re: Drivng without an Air Filter (vtechatch)
I'm going to guess that you didn't drive very far without it right? I would think that if you had sucked up anything bad enough to clog up coolant lines in the throttle, etc, you would know about it already. Just a guess, but IMHO you should be OK. I'm sure I don't need to say replace your filter ASAP. And of course, if you do grenade your engine, why that's the perfect excuse for a swap anyway! Remember, the glass is half full....

Have you taken your head off lately?
no dip ****, why don't you come on over and do it for me...
Cmon guys, how much is a cheapo air filter? We really shouldn't be having this debate.
