   How much oil is in there? There will always be some oil, unless you have an oilcatch tank on it. The oil comes from the oil breather system which ís guide throught the throttlebody from the cam cover.

   how did it cut out? While driving or when parked? Could be many things...
   Battery shouldnt be a problem, it is primaryly used to start the car...

   Sounds like you too much oil in the car should be around the half way mark on the dipstick that might be why you have oil in the throttal body.
