Starting no oil..
To turn the engine over without starting on newer EFI cars just need one easy step. Step on the gas pedal all the way down(pedal to the medal style) before cranking it and then crank it. No fuse pulling or fuel pump shut down etc. Works on pretty much any computer controlled car. With the pedal to the medal you can crank until the battery flat or starter burn out and the car will not start until the pedal is let go. The reason is it's design into the system so when that procedure is being perform it cuts power to the ignition system or sort like that. Very helpful to prime the oil filter after oil change.
Edit: I believe this protocol is only applied to OBD2 compliance car. Not sure about non-OBD or OBD1 compliance vehicle though.

Actually no. Holding the pedal to the floor cuts off the fuel injectors because that's how you clear a flooded engine.
The engine if flooded will most likely start but if you have NOT cranked the engine yet then yes you should be able to turn over the engine without it starting by holding the pedal to the floor.
You can easily prove this to your self by holding the pedal to the floor and have someone spray a bit of starting fluid in the air cleaner while you crank the engine over.
The car will start.
