Default Couple of sensors not hooked up, will it still start?

Hey, I have a couple of sensors not hooked up, one being the tps, because it's broken off, and another I am not sure of, did not have time to check it, but I was just wondering will any of this cause the car not to start or even turn over? It's an 88 crx, with a DOHC ZC engine in it.

If the car is wired properly, it should start, then it will run like shit and throw codes for the sensors that are messed up. SO yeah, it may start, but you won't get very far after that.
Use common sense though, don't crank the thing if you know there are major things wrong that will cause it not to run properly.

It should run without a tps, but the idle might be screwy and it might die.

Default just clicks

Hey, I tried to start it, but it just clicks, like the starter is kinda engaging, but not turning if you know what I mean. What possible things can I do to get it to start? I really need this car running soon please help.
