Yes it will hurt your engine if you don't oil the Air Filter.

I don't know what to think is wrong with it. You might have to take it in to your dealer and let them troubleshoot it.

do you just let it idle for 20 minutes without moving it, then if thats so it is just overheating from not getting any air flow.:huh
