Is the engine malfunction light on and the car not starting due to an oil issue?

[DeMatteo]

The engine malfunction light being on and the car not starting could potentially be due to an oil issue. It might be caused by insufficient oil level, which reduces the oil pump's output or prevents it from pumping oil due to air intake, leading to a drop in oil pressure and failure to start. Other reasons for the engine malfunction light being on are as follows: Exhaust emissions not meeting standards: Factors such as poor fuel quality, a malfunctioning catalytic converter, excessive carbon buildup in the intake manifold, clogged fuel injectors, faulty oxygen sensors, or occasional engine misfires can all cause the engine malfunction light to illuminate. Among these, poor fuel quality is the most common cause. Poor engine performance: The malfunction light may also come on due to poor engine system performance. Issues like faulty throttle pedal sensors, throttle position sensors, mass airflow sensors, crankshaft position sensors, or poor electrical connections can all trigger the engine malfunction light.
