It acted like it didn't want to go when I gave it gas, started like missing or whatever, check oil light came on and immediately quit.

I would try to put a breaker bar on the front of the engine to see if you can get it to crank over by hand. Here is a guide as well and I have included the starter wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works:

Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so I can hear the noise? That way I can tell for sure what's going on. You can upload it here with your response. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
