The temp sensor typically fails in the open condition (infinite ohms) resulting in a running engine (warm) producing black smoke, and eventually dying.
The engine ALWAYS starts when cold.
A shorted temp sensor results in a hard starting mode for a cold engine, but it does try to start.
A bad fuel pump, bad DME relay, or stuck injectors results in a total no start, but the engine does start with carb/brake cleaner.
