If the weather is cold enough, you can possibly get a no-start with a bad/missing OVP, as the engine (injection, actually) is tuned to run, even without the OVP or ECU, in a warmed state (because the engineers figure they should tune it to run "OK" with a warm engine instead of a cold engine, which makes sense, why tune it to run OK only when cold, only to have it run like crap once you get it warmed up?). But either way, the OVP has nothing to do with the starter operating.
