Default I NEED HELP!!!!

OK guys...last night i was driving normal which was like 45-50mph and i stop at a store went in for like a minute and when i started my car it died now i thought that maybe i didn;t give it enough time to turn the motor so i tried again and it fired up but the rpms drop to the point where it was right on the 0 and then the car died again so i tried it again and it stayed on but the idle was like .1 if you know what i mean it was so close to the 0 and the motor was shaking like hell now i checked it today and there is alot of oil that is in the intake breather hose and in the intake manifold hose what could be the problem...

Maybe a vacuum disconected. Also check for any leaks in the are of the Intake after the MAF or in the throttle body itself. Sounds like a leak to me. Happened to me twice.

Is your PCV clogged or something? That could be a build up of oil collected in your PCV hose which is now clogged, causing the dying... Check it out.

I don't think it's your headgasket. Sounds like your piston ring. If your headgasket went, you'd have oil in your coolant I think.

The other way around, isn't it? Coolant in your oil?

It acutally could be both depending on where the gasket failed. It's much easier to notice the oil in your coolant though.

No worries, that's true.
