What tells fuel pump to run when engine has started?
The year, make, model and engine would help but, in most cases the crank sensor tells the ECM (Engine Control Module) the engine has rpms so the ECM keeps the fuel pump running. Some engines use the oil pressure switch to keep the fuel pump running.
I have a 97 Dodge Stratus If your car ran hot after about two hours but did not read hot could it be the thermostat?
You say it's running hot, so i am assuming you have hot water in the radiator. If the thermostat was not opening, there would be no hot water in the radiator. Since the temperature sensor is on the engine, it reads the temp of the water in the engine. (Not in the radiator). The fact you have over heating tells me the water is getting hot but the sensor is not reflecting that. I would say it's either the sensor, or the gauge.
What is a knocking sensor on a 1999 Chevy Lumina?
It's a sensor that tells the computer if there is a rod knock in your engine.

What does a o2 sensor do and will it damage car if not replaced?
SImple answer is yes The Oxygen sensor measures and tells the computer about how the engine is running. If the sensor is so bad the computer turns the light on it is very bad, the computer knows it is getting bad information and goes into a program designed to allow you to drive it in for repair. Over a long period (thousands of miles) the engine will suffer extra wear due to this.
