    Can a bad water temp sensor cause rough idling and my jeep stalling and shutting off while driving? I have been dealing with this problem for a while and I can't figure it out.

    Welcome! Not sure if that would cause the issue. Do you have an engine light on?

    Yes I do, but I figured it probably was from the bad sensor

    Get the codes read, and see what direction they point to.

    Chris is correct...you need to get the codes. However, in answer to your question: YES, it can cause those kinds of issues. Still, get the codes first as they may lead you in another direction.
