Hello. I have a question. Will a bad oil sensor disable the key start or only ground the coils?

All of the oil switches I have seen will either prevent fire to the plugs, or cause a short 5-10 run before shutting down the engine.

Thank you. The wire that connects to B prong on switch lacks 12 volts and am trouble shooting. Thanks again.

The oil level safety switch is a grounding switch that grounds out the coils when the oil level is too low.
