Do I really need the fuel temp sensor?

Im remaking my whole engine harness right now and whatever I dont need Im taking out. I noticed that aftermarket fuel rails dont come with the sensor to plug the green connector (fuel temp) into so is there any reason to put it in the harness (If I plan on getting an aftermarket fuel rail very soon)?

I took mine out of my wiring harness. Went into the Power FC with the datalogit software and set all the values to 1.00

What are the only sensors you NEED with the PFC?

my car is shutting off asoon as it hits 60C , and When I checked the Sensors my fuel temp was reading 4.99 even while cold does the temp sensor have any effect or is there another underlying issue

I'm sure the coolant temp sensor can control af ratios. I know it's the exact same sensor as the temp sensor on the back of the thermostat housing

if you're going PFC and aftermarket rails, delete it.
