hmmm.... no sensor won't hurt it... what'll hurt it is the overheated engine that you didn't realize was over heating until it warped your head, killed your gaskets, and fried out your motor.... I'm speaking from experience here.

My coolant temp sensor died on me and the car was putting out over 10X the fuel it should have been at idle. The sensor is like $5 from a wrecking yard, just go buy one

And no, there was no code stored in the computer for me either.

But if you're running too rich, you'll be bogging the engine.
