no oil pressure after car dies?

i was pulling out of a parking lot and my car died,i went to start it and it would not start? popped the hood and the oil cap was missing? would the car have no oil pressure and not start if the cap fell off?it will build about 10lbs and stop building anymore when cranking.

Shouldn't do more than that while cranking! Get it started and see where it is.

No, that would have zero effect.

How much oil pressure do you expect to get from 250rpm? Sounds normal to me.

Why would you put a fuse in with a fuel pump switch?

The fuel pump cicuit is already fused, so it doesn't need another. Exactly how have you wired your switch?
