Car wont run after stopping it while doing cam break in!

I started my engine, seems to run fine. I see some smoke so I turn the car off and go look... It was just oil on the headers from my hands. Now when I try to start it now it wont start. Turns over then after a few seconds, what seems to be a backfire occurs, but the start stops then restarts, DAMNIT! I hope I didnt ruin my engine

Ive got a few open things on the intake manifold that the AIR system used, what do people use to block those off? I am guessing just a little rubber cap of some sort.

I can't think of any 'AIR' fittings on the intake manifold?[ Sure you don't mean EGR?]
AIR comes in off the intake duct, then thru air pump, then out to the exhaust manifolds...
