Missing air filter on a 01 Cavalier

So I went to Jiffy Lube to get my oil changed and they were "supposed" to replace the air filter but took the old one out and never put a new one in and didnt screw down the plastic casing stuff. My question is could that have ruined the throttle body? The check engine light came on and the car started idling very high. Could that have been caused by the missing air filter? I was told trash got down into there and caused the damage. Any thoughts on this would be great. I know Jiffy Lube says it is crazy for anyone to even think a missing air filter could cause a problem. Thanks!!!
