No Idle

Hi All
I drive a 87 5000 Turbo Quattro daily. This morning when I went to start it, it
would not idle. Sometimes it runs a little ruff in the morning but this never
changed. The one thing I did last night was to add more oil. This morning it is
hard to start and if I take my foot of the gas and the RPM go below 1000 the
engine will die. I have looked for wires I might have pulled off when adding
oil but I do not see any. I looked at what I think is the idle adjustment screw
in the front of the turbo housing and it is still there. When I try to start it,
it is like the fuel from the pump is there but it will not continue to run
without just the right amount of gas at just the right time. What has gone
wrong?
