Er no. After a huge amount of head scratching, I fixed a water
temperature sensor for about $7.
Sensors are very simple beasts indeed by and large
The most expensive sensor I could think of for my car is the mass
airflow sensor, at $90 or thereabouts.
The right sensor

Yes, a failed crank sensor is a "crank, no start". That's akin to having
the points close up on a car.
But a failed oxygen sensor or temperature sensor or knock sensor wont
net you a car that wont start, just one with a christmas tree of colored
lights on the dash.

Yes, but the sensor was not expensive was it? Just the diagnostics and
replacement labour.
I bought a Bluetooth equipped dongle that connects to my cars
diagnostic port and allows a cheap app on the smartphone to look for
fault codes and running data. Less than $50
This stuff only appears complicated because while you understand valves
and cam shafts, distributors and carbs, you don't understand oxygen
sensors fuel trims and valve solenoids and EGR valves.

“I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the
greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most
obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of
conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which
they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by
thread, into the fabric of their lives.”
