I wouldn't doubt one bit that most people might not tell the difference between the two cars. But that's not the same as saying there is no difference. And I doubt if taking out your home furnace filter will kill anyone, either.
 
As for being the same as going for a walk without a mask, I'll agree with you when I take my walks at 75 mph!

Some people buy filter media from Ace Hardware and cut and fold it to fit the space where the OEM filter lives. Just a kludge but lots cheaper than most replacement filters.

My two pennies worth: I think the filters possibly provide some protection for the heater and AC. The heater core and evaporator have cooling fins closely fit together. Too much bug and dust build up will clog the cooling spaces over time and cause the system to run hotter. Not to mention reduced air flow into the cabin.

I have allergies, so I replace filters every year with either OEM or Bosch ones (HEPA).
 
I also use 3M Filtrette furnace filters and use HEPA air purifiers at home.
 
Filters not only protect me from pollen, but also protect the evaporator and the blower from the gunk accumulating on them and making them less effective and eventually killing them.

yeah, you just paid for a PA state inspection that should be done in the state of your living a bout once every year or so. LOLz, hope they didn't rape you too bad!

Mystery stall in a 1997 CR-V by roger821

Hi everybody,
 
I just had everyone's worst nightmare happen to me today, although it could have happened in a worse place than it did. I have a 1997 CR-V, well maintained and with nearly 150K miles on it. It has been running great until today. It's no longer my daily driver, but the battery is less than a year old and I've not had any problems at all. I used it today to go to Home Depot. It started up right away, and I got about 1/2 mile from my house, with it running smoothly.
 
I stopped at a light, and when the light turned green, I hit the gas pedal, it went about 5 feet and then the engine just cut off. Dead as a doornail, without any mechanical noises or anything. After I got it through the intersection I was in, I tried to restart it, the engine turned normally but it just would not catch. It just acts like it ran out of gas, which I assume is the fuel system (pump/relay/filter). I had the CR-V towed home, and just tried to start it, but it just turns without starting up. I already had the ignition switch recall replaced, so it should not be that (but you never know).
 
I've seen a couple of comments on this forum which talked about rotors or ignition coils. Besides the fuel system, what else could have caused this? I'm open for any root cause, especially if it's going to cost less than the fuel pump (which a Honda dealer just said is 2 labor hours at $110/per, plus a $400 part, and tax).
 
Please help! Thanks...
