Yesterday, my freind took my cai off to look at something. Now the ass didnt screw it back on tight enought and it fell off while i was driving. im not sure how long i was without it, all i know is the engine got HOT. went all the way to the red line. should i change my oil, cuase wouldnt it be dirty from the unfiltered air?

not running a filter would NOT cause your engine to get hot. Something else is probably wrong. I have run without filters before. Its not a good idea, but it wont cause any immiediate problems, check your coolant, and your fan to make sure its working, and changing the oil after an overheat is always a good idea.

i dont think i have a sensor, i have a ebay CAI for a 5.0 so it didnt fit untill i bought a pvc adapter. now i was showing a freind how i made it, and i didnt screw it on completely, and i forgot to finish screwing it on becuase i got sidtracked. now i was driving for about 2 hours. and it started to really heat up when i would go into turn around lanes, so i fugred it was sucking in hot air formt he ening compartment making it so warm cuase when i drove home it cooled all the way down.
