LOW OIL PRESSURE WILL CAUSE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH OR SENDING UNIT TO DISABLE FUEL PUMP.CHECK FOR OIL PRESSURE.REMOVE OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT SCREW IN OIL PRESSURE GAUGE TESTER INTO BLOCK WHERE OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT GOES TURN ENGINE OVER CHECK FOR OIL PRESSURE SHOULD BE 18 PSI @ 2000 RPM. BESURE TO WRAP TEFLON PLUMBERS TAPE AROUND THREADS TO THE OIL GAUGE PRESSURE TESTER OIL WILL SPRAY EVERY WHERE.IF YOU ARE GETTING NO OIL PRESSURE.YOUR OIL PUMP FAULTY.YOUR ENGINE CRANKSHAFT BEARINGS WORN OUT.WORN DAMAGED CAMSHAFT OIL PUMP DRIVE GEAR OR OIL PUMP DRIVE ROD DAMAGED OR BROKEN. IF OIL PRESSURE OKAY OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT IS BAD.
Low oil pressure before the engine is running is normal. the starter does not turn it fast enough to build running pressure.
Crankshaft position sensor causes hard starting and backfire.
Try putting some oil in before you crank it . Sound like you needs some oil in it.

Is the fuel injected or carburated?
fuel injected
the problem started after I added dual pipes to the car. Cutting of the catalytic converters.
I have already replaced fuel pump, wires & plugs, fuel filter, and throttle position sensor.
I don't know which engine, but it may be variable valve timing (VVT) which is dependant on oil pressure which could cause backfire.check oil level, change oil and filter with correct oil. If possible put a mechanical guage with T to current sensor to test pressure when starting so you can watch how fast it comes up to pressure. a cheaper test, and ignore all the flames and negative comments, put in STP while hot, drive a while, then see how it does the next week.
