7 Symptoms Of A Dirty Air Filter - This Is Why Your Car Feels Sluggish
The filter is there to keep dirt and debris from entering the engine. A dirty or clogged air filter can cause the engine to work harder than it really needs to. A clogged filter can lead to a loss of power, dirty smoke, a check engine light coming on, and even engine failure.

I just found out that the person who looked at my cars air filter broke the clips that hold down the housing and therefore causing debris to come into the manifold. Never trust an idiot.

I am cool with a idiot - but don't be a dishonest idiot - just let me know you that you broke my sh*t, so I can get it fixed or replace it - there is nothing wrong with mistakes as long as the person owns up to it (just my opinion)

Bang on advise it’s the same for a Diesel. I will change mine tomorrow.

Fuel injected engines meter the correct amount of fuel for the air flow. A clogged air filter will reduce performance, but not decrease fuel economy. An older carbureted car will have increased fuel usage with a clogged filter.

Correct. Likewise with efi, removing air restrictions will ad air and the computer will ad fuel accordingly to maintain performance

I have a 2012 Honda CRV and my air filter was definitely affecting my fuel efficiency. When I took out my old air filter I thought it would be dirtier than it was. It was black in some areas but lighter in some others areas. After replacing the check engine light went off. But the check gas cap light turned on. My car battery is not holding a charge anymore. So now I think I still have two more issues. Either it's my fuel pump or fuel filter or fuel relay is gone bad. Or it's just battery issue that won't charge anymore.
Change my air filter. And now I have a check engines in light.

Do you have an OBD scanner to reset the light?
Should we talk about how dirt and grimy my nasty airfilter was? lol. She runs great now.
Every 30 thousand miles?

Yep, thats right.
30.000 miles is a lot , should be changed every 12/15000 miles max

Why would my air filter box feel hot??

Basically 3 things can cause this. Engine is generating more heat than it should (monitor the temperature gauge), poorly sealed air filter box which allows it to draw in extra hot air from the engine, and a dirty or clogged air filter.

It was not noticeable when I checked my air filter until I used a flash light at night and looked at the box sure shit light was coming from the box! So how can I repair this until I find a new box?
Thanks
