Default Won't run. Intake drenched in oil.

i have a 98 dodge 2500 with a 360 it only has 160,000 miles and i was plowing snow yesterday(ohio) and the truck started running really ruff wouldn't rev up and then shut off and wouldnt start again.....

The obvious issue is you most-likely need to do the plenum. It should still start and run though.

Have you attempted to check fuel pressure or tried pouring a little bit of fuel down the throttle-body? If you have a helper have them either turn the key to start it and at the same time hit the fuel tank moderately with a rubber mallet, dead-blow hammer, or the toe of your boot.

I can appreciate needing help, however; in the future try to put a legitimate subject matter in the title. This helps future members search the forum (search function) in an attempt to resolve their issue as quickly as possible.

(Edit: Nice move changing the title)

Plenum is blown. Converter is probably clogged. Fixed the title. Time to read up on the plenum fix.

Start with simple felpro or mopar gasket and pcv valve change and go from there. Run some combustion cleaner through and check compression again.
