New throttle body, car won't start - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

Replaced the original throttle body with a BBK 62mm. Had to grind a screw head off the TPS because of the lock-tite and I stripped the head. Now, the car won't start. I'm thinking I jacked the TPS up with I was grinding the screwhead off. However, if the engine is cold, it should still start with a faulty TPS? As it warms, then I should start seeing idling issues. Correct?
