All that sensor does is read signal for the tachometer gauge.
The "Crank Position Sensor" that provides RPM signal to the injection computer, is located at the back of the engine right down near where the oil filter is.
It can't really "overheat"....its a Hall effect sensor....it generates small pulses of voltage from magnets on the flywheel. The worst that can happen to it is that it may degrade over time (the sensor itself or the wiring) and not provide an in-spec signal....causing engine stalls.
