Could "low oil pressure" indicator cause a 'no start'?
What is your question?
Not long ago I drove to town without any trouble or incidents. I came home, parked my vehicle. Not a single problem or noise. I have not attempted to even start it in maybe 3 weeks. So I decide to drive it to town. The battery was down. So I jumped it off. But this time, it would crank. But would not start. First time it has ever not started. 75 degrees out. The only indicator is the "oil pressure low" came on. Still will not start, but cranks just as it always has. The oil level was good. I have tried starting it a few times, and it cranks, but will not fire. I noticed while it was cranking, the oil pressure does not change while cranking. It remains at 'no pressure', which is odd, because it has always had good pressure. Will "low oil pressure" indicator cause it not to fire? Does the pressure register while cranking? Any ideas?

NO. it will not keep it from starting,it would still start with no oil in it!. the gauge can't register until the engine is running. also, that oil light comes on every time you turn the key to on,then goes off after engine is running(it's a bulb check)..also,the oil pressure gauge hand will not move until the engine is running...Suggest>>> testing for spark and fuel pressure.Quick Check>>>>if it's been sitting for 3 weeks,check the inertia switch,see if it tripped somehow.
