Someone mentioned that I may have blown a vacuum hose. Sure enough, the hose that connects to the bottom part of the cylindrical idle control module was detached. I plugged it back and my baby fired right up! Problem solved!

Just for a piece of mind, when I was cranking the car with the hose loose, the engine would clunk or make some kind of weird "blunt" sound (backfire?) and die. did I do any harm minor or major to the engine? And what was that burnt plastic smell I noticed Monday morning when I cranked the engine? It seemed like I shorted something.
