not really, if the thermostats bust, then it just takes longer to warm up.. it the coolant temp sensor is bust, your car will over fuel...
both relativly inexpensive.

stat was stuck open on the cally when i first got it.
made it run a little nasty, never got warm, no heat through the blowers, temp gauge never moved, and it drank fuel like a mofo.
replaced it (half hour job with coolant flush) and it runs way nicer, hot air, and reasonable fuel economy again.
