I really have not heard the term oil pump switch. There is an oil pressure switch on some small engines that will shut the engine down if the oil pressure falls below a preset pressure. These are not installed on vehicles for safety reasons. You vehicle however has an oil pressure sending unit that keeps track of the oil pressure and will warn you of low oil pressure with a red light, or by way of a gage, or both.

Is it hard to replace a fuel pump oil filter switch?
You are referring to two separate things. The fuel pump has a relay and not a switch. The oil filter does not have a switch but the oil pressure has a sending unit that sends a pressure reading to the gauge. Some cars have an oil pressure switch that incorporates a circuit to shut the engine down in case it were to loose oil pressure.

It does not have an inertia type fuel pump shut off switch. General Motors uses the oil pressure switch. If the oil pressure drops below 3 psi, it shuts off the power to the fuel pump,

A bad fuel pump can cause stalling. The oil pressure will show low oil on the lights or gauges but if the pressure is ok then the switch should not cause stalling.

Does a 1988 Chevy C10 with EFI have an oil pressure switch that shuts off the fuel pump if the oil pressure is low?
no, however the fuel pump has a secondary route through the oil pressure switch.If the fuel pump relay goes out the pump will run through the oil pressure switch after the engine gets oil pressure. this results in extended engine cranking time before the engine will start
Where is the fuel pump reset button on 1996 Chevy s-10?
There isn't one. The fuel pump receives its power from the fuel pump relay or the oil pressure switch (they are connected in parallel so that power can be provided from either source). The oil pressure switch provides power to the pump when the oil pressure reaches 4 PSI. The Fuel Pump relay supplies power to the pump when it receives a signal from the ignition switch. They are no other switches or interupts in the circuit
Will a bad oil pressure switch causes the fuel pump to turn off?
No
95gmc sonoma no oil pressure new rod and main bearings and new oil pump and new oil switch any body have the same prob or any advice?
try taking the oil pressure switch out and taking a gauge and putting it in there and see if you have pressure there if not then it could be a bad oil pump.
