Default Oil pressure sensor

Would a broken oil pressure sensor cause a motor not to start? Id like to say it would from what i remember reading but i need clarification.

If I remember right the oil pressure sensor only goes to the dash and the PCM never sees it.

You need to figure out if it's ignition or fuel.
