Definitely not. A faulty throttle potentiometer will not prevent the engine from starting or running. Failures are rare in any case. The only component that provides an input signal to the ECM that will stop the engine from starting or running if it's faulty is the crankshaft position sensor.

Probably a good idea to take a more methodical route to find out why it does'nt start rather than play parts darts.Also is there adequate coolant in the system?Any water loss here could cause the coolant temp sensor to read incorrectly and cause poor starting.
