My 92 (4.9) work truck would lose oil pressure and still run. A few of my GMs with TBI had that switch but none of my recent Ford truck. If your fuel pump runs all the time with the KOEO than your computer might be gone. The pump should come on for about three seconds and shutoff until the engine sees about 200 RPM. Use a paper clip and try to pull the codes it will at least tell you if the computer is still functional.

x2 on rikards comment. I have 2 computers on my kitchen table as we speak, one has a melted capacitor. and the pumps would continue to run and the engine would never start. and that IS controlled by the eec NOT a pressure regulator as we normal folks would assume.\The BIG numbers and letters on the eec are most important to match and MAY be also found on the door jamb We had low oil shutoffs on our industrial snow making machines so they DO exist. and when we fixed cars for some people, we'd hook the oil light to the seatbelt buzzer, which they'd take more seriously than the oil light. Yer prob ok, there are what? 7 quarts in those engines minus 2 off the stick may still equal 5??
