Yes, some parts of the engine are hot enough to melt the insulation, at which point the metallic center can come in contact with the engine, short out and result in a fire.
A wire can also rub against the engine long enough that the insulation wears off, THEN when the metallic center comes in contact with the engine, you'll still get that electrical fire.

Temp gauge on 1994 g20 stopped working it seemed to always be on the low side van runs fine bought last year wire is secure to the sensor haven't pulled dash panel to check gauge yet ideas?
You can check the temp. gauge operation by removing the temp. gauge sending unit plug and touching it to any engine ground with ignition on but the Van not running. The gauge will go to hot right away, if it is working. The temp. gauge sending unit is located on the drivers side of the engine at midpoint just below the exhaust manifold. It will have a single wire running to it and be plugged into the sending unit.
