Default temp sensor

So my wire came off my temp sensor at the Thermastat housing. Would this cause a problem with the jeep starting. When it's connected it started easy but when it's not it struggles to start

yeah that is the coolant temp sensor. The computer uses that to determine how rich to make the fuel mix, if its unplugged its infinitely cold and can be too rich to start if you have other problems going on
