It does not have one.
On the older ones that do have a oil pressure switch for fuel pump it is not a cut off switch but is to keep fuel pump running if the fuel pump relay fails as long as there is oil pressure.

Check the EMC-B fuse to the fuel pump relay
Switch relay with a known good one.
Also make sure you have spark from coil.
AND ALSO JUMPER GRAY FUEL PUMP WIRE TO SEE IF FUEL PUMP RUNS.

Does the pump run on engine cranking or have any fuel pressure?
Is the gray fuel pumpfeed wire getting 12 volts engine crank or key on 2 second prime up?

Pump does not run on cranking. No pressure. Fuse is ok installed new relay Put power to gray wire fuel pump doesn't kick on. I haven't replaced fuel filter. Will start and die if I use starting fluid.

If pump does not go with gray fuel pump wire jumped and pump hs a good ground.
Check for 12 volts on gray wire with it jumped at fuel pump plug and also for ground there.
If voltage and ground there replace fuel pump.
And use a Ac-Delco/delphi pump.

Run the test and see if it is fuel pump or other.
