No I would not expect low oil pressure to keep the engine from starting. Depending on how low the pressure is it might not be a good idea to run the engine much until the low oil pressure problem is corrected. Since there is no gauge built in on that year Celebrity I assume that the oil pressure light is on.

Low oil pressure can be caused by a number of problems including failing oil pump, clogged oil filter, low on oil or loose bearings as well as a failing oil pressure sensor.

When the pressure sensor fails it tends to show low oil pressure and if that is the cause then replacing the sensor can fix the problem.

If it were my car I would first hook up an oil pressure gauge and find out what the pressure is before I attempted to fix the problem. Pressure should be at least 30 psi.

What would cause a 1986 Chevy Celebrity back brakes to lock up?

A 1986 Chevy Celebrity's back brakes may lock up due to several factors, including a malfunctioning brake proportioning valve, which can cause uneven pressure distribution. Corroded or stuck brake components, such as calipers or wheel cylinders, may also prevent proper movement. Additionally, a brake line blockage or a failed master cylinder could contribute to excessive pressure buildup. Regular inspection and maintenance are essential to prevent these issues.
