Can your engine over heat if sensor is bad?

Yes. Especially if your car has electronic cooling fans. The coolant sensor signals the computer to turn the fans on when the engine is getting warm. The computer also retards the engine ignition timing and increases/decreases the air fuel mixture to preserve the engine. And if the coolant senor is not working, then the computer cannot tell you when to stop the car before the engine blows.
