Help !

I removed the intake boot to check for cracks / holes, and clean the
throttle body, and now the car wont start (after I put it all back
together).

When I turn the key it will kind of start, rev up to about 800-1000 RPM
for about a second, then die, but continue to crank if I hold the key
on "Start".

The oil light also comes on, even though the oil was only down to the
bottom of the knurled section on the dipstick. Each time I check it
after I try to start, there is oil about 6 inches up the dipstick,
which seems odd.

I added a quart of oil, but the oil light still comes on, but the level
is back to where it should be.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated !!

Thanks,
Mike.
