Engine Performance problem
1998 Buick Regal 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

My oil light is on but just got an oil change and a little smoke come from by where i check the oil. The only way my car crank up fully is if i push the gas then turn the key. My car turn off if i let go the gas or try to put it in drive. I really need help or some information.

Welcome, clean the throttle body and check the idle air system. When you open the throttle your bypassing the idle air system.
