Low Oil Sensor
Can anyone confirm if a Low Oil Sensor warning (and a bad sensor) will cause the car to quit running and not start?
04 Z06, 75k. Cruising down the freeway, started to stumble and eventually quit and would not stay running. Low Oil Warning came on, but no Trouble codes, and the oil is not low.
Before I tear into the fuel tank and fuel pump, I want to eliminate all other options.
The car has headers but the wires look fine and are routed away from the heat above the starter.
I disconnected the battery for 20 minutes, and it at least "tried" to start, but didnt.
Any and all helpful responses appreciated.
Thank you!

Grok says this has occurred with other owners
Short answer: other owners have had these experiences
I have a much longer answer but this antique site makes a mess of all the links, tables of data, etc. Many references and cases of this happening. Details at the link below, including a number of search results from this and other forums.
