Engine was idling rough this morning got to work and smelled oil burning checked and my oil was VERY low (though I still had about 4psi was going to change the oil Tuesday) Added two quarts to get me till I can change it but when I try to start it up it immediately dies. If I give it gas it'll run and rev fine no odd noises no more burning smell.

Tried unplugging the IAC to see if that would help me limp home but no luck.

Anyone seen anything like this? Any ideas?
 
Took out the IAC and it starts so IAC it is.

Figured unplugging it would be good enough but I guess the plunger must be stuck
 
Probably a good time to clean the throttle body also


Yeah I'm going to do that along with my oil change and radiator replacement on tuesday before I leave for NACfest. I think the smoking oil mucked up the intake so I'm going to make sure it's tip top before I leave.
