Quick question before I start tearin into things...

This is on a 94 T/A . I was having some problems with the dipstick recently. ....Getting the tube RTV'd and sealing good. I got that job done...let the RTV cure and went to start and it runs for a few seconds (most 15) then peters out and dies. Have plenty of fuel...smells that way anyway. Havent checked spark yet...but Ive looked for any vacuum lines I may have knocked loose when I was wrestling the dipstick tube. I know when I RTV's the tube I smeared the **** down the side of my block...AND I did touch the starter with the dipstick itself one time. causing the car to jump and scare the **** out of me
My question is........ Is there anything I could have knocked loose or smeared RTV on that could cause this? Or does it sound like an Opti/ICM problem?

Thanks
