Hi to all! I'm just wondering what will happen to your engine if u accidentally cover the air filter with a plastic bag? My fiancé on the way home from work and she driving my z and it's raining. She grab 2 plastic bag and cover the injen air filter (stupid) then the car won't run even how hard she step on the gas. The filters messed up! Now spend money to order new filters! Waste of money!

i wouldnt think your filter are broken, more like something else major. have you disconnected the battery for 10 mins and then reconnect it?

embarrasingly enough I had a rag stuck in my intake on a sentra and it clogged part of the filter. Just buy 2 new filters and reset the ecu, you should be good after that.
