Oil pressure cut off switch ? It doesn't cut anything off , it's purposes is if the fuel pump relay doesn't work ,when the engine reaches 40 psi oil pressure ,contacts close inside supplying voltage to the fuel pump . Watch this video on Fuel Pump Electrical Circuits Description and Operation from Paul Danner . He is an automotive instructor at Rosedale tech .

Try checking fuel pressure again with a guage on the fuel rail. If you still notice the pressure is low and you know the fuel pump is good, the fuel pressure regulator may be bad. Sometimes you can tell by unplugging the vacuum hose from it and if you see gas that means the diaphram is leaking. If everything checks out with the fuel system a bad EGR valve or EGR valve solenoid can cause cars to sort of stall under half throttle. Good luck and keep me posted. If you found this helpful please rate this solution.

It's on the engine, right next to the starter, it has one wire going to it. You don't need to drain the oil. If the light is coming on, you may have bad seals in the oil pan, a fairly common problem, but replacing the switch is a good fisrt step.

I've seen pressure switches rust out and shoot a steady steam of oil out of them, so yes it could cause you to loose two quarts of oil. Book does not mention starter removal:
