Yes, the air filter keeps dirt out... It's not a sensor or anything. Put a sock or a piece of woman's stockings over it for now. Doing both will work even better. Make sure they're very securely tied/rubber banded on. Don't cut them too small so that if they happen to come loose they won't make it past the throttle body. I strongly advise against driving it with anything other than a real air filter though.

Have you verified the cps is installed correctly? That can cause it to crank all day, can sometimes get a sputter every now and then too
