Yes, it will affect driveability/idle condition. Using your numbers, the fuel and ignition control units would be interpreting the sensor signal at 80C as if the engine were not yet warmed up (60C), and would adjust lean/rich mixture accordingly. Also important that both sensor pins measure close to the same resistance values, so that the CIS controller and the EZL controller are getting the same information.
