No, it just means ur temperature gauge on your cluster is not gonna be accurate worth of dick.
On newer cars that can throw the engine into limp mode simply b/c it's not sure...I'm not sure if it'll dothat on pre '00 Hondas, though.
Oh, and VTEC won't work - VTEC depends that your car's reached standard operating temperature. It can't tell if it has or hasn't, so VTEC won't engage, but you won't get a CEL for it.
Change the sensor.
