What is the most likely effect of a blocked air filter on the operation of a ci engine?

Heavily clogged air filters on any engine, hurt performance by reducing the engines efficiency. An engine is essentially an air pump, the easier it can breathe air in and out, the more optimal the performance will be. If the air filter element is restrictive due to being full of obtrusive particles you may notice a decrease in acceleration, a drop in MPG (Miles Per Gallon) or even stalling if it's bad enough.

Will a car start if it needs a fuel filter?
It depends on how blocked the filter is. It could be blocked enough that it won't let the vehicle run at high speed, but still allows enough fuel through to start the engine.
Will a blocked fuel filter keep a car from starting?
Yes, most definitely. No fuel and the engine will not start.
Why does a Chevy 350 cut out while accelerating but rev up and idle just fine?
Check your fuel pump/fuel filter. On the newer fuel injected cars/trucks a restricted fuel filter will allow the engine to perform properly until a fuel demand limitation is reached. Operation may be normal at 60mph and then feel like it has hit a wall at 65mph when the fuel delivery is not sufficient for engine operation at the increased load. Acceleration is the same condicition low fuel flow due to the blocked filter not allowing full fuel flow to the engine.

What does a fuel filter do on a diesel engine and would it affect the accselaration if blocked?
1) It prevents damage to injectors and engine from debris in fuel. 2) Yes. This filter should be replaced at every other oil change to prevent power loss.

Why might a 2001 Olds Alero GL stall or cut off at speeds between 5-60 MPH with no codes being set?
I'd check the fuel filter first. When fuel flow starts increasing, if the filter is partially blocked you will not get sufficient flow to operate the engine. The computer cannot easily detect any difference between a blocked filter and an empty tank, so auto manufacturers do not throw a code for blocked filters.
