The Oil pressure switch (sending unit) won't affect oil pressore - IT only reads the pressure - Some engines won't start if there is NO oil pressure ! I would install a manual Guage b 4 i assume there is no oil pressure .

On some cars, low signal from oil sending unit (aka oil pressure switch) will cause the computer to shut the engine down. ACTUAL low pressure will cause that condition as well as a malfunctioning switch. They use mechanical pressure gages to by-pass the existing switch, and to verify if pressure is low.
If pressure is indeed low, it may be caused by several items such as:
worn oil pump, oil pump pressure relief valve stuck open, worn lower end bearings.
