Please ignore call request not needed her,I m sorry website sending it not me
If the battery is below 10 volts,it will trigger an alarm and it will make it crank & start and then shuts off in few seconds,now if all was working well prior to TB body replacement, make sure the battery is not low and reads 12 volts,use voltmeter to check and do below procedure , now if there is a key fob malfunction or a security module parts that failed the reset will not work, then we need dealer scanner or equivalent to read module
Master Reset
1-Disconnect Both Battery Cables ,Positive & Negative .
2- Touch Cables With Each Other For 60 Secs ( this will take any residual power in the Harness to Reset the Vehicle Modules )
3- Wait 30 min
4- Close all doors and trunk
5- Reconnect Battery Positive First
6- Use The Key in The Driver Side Door
Lock Cylinder to Lock it & Unlock,IF You have only a Key Fob ,use it to lock and unlock
7- Enter vehicle and Start it .

unforunatley at this time we need dealer scanner or equivalent to read secuity module codes and based on these fault codes we can pull up a pin point troubleshoot and see what is failing , we have switches on every door ,hood,trunk ,power locks , security module ,rf signal antena ,key fob themselves ect
There is no relay or fuse to pull out to by pass the system ,it will need to be fixed
in some cases when battery is removed key fobs lose sync and will require scanner to reprogram and register back to secuity module will be my guess ,if all was working prior to battery and TB Replacement
if you get the fault codes you can post them back here and i can help you further on it

ok
The metal fragments is not good if it is part camshaft or rod or cranking bearing internally
how big of a metal parts fpund ,like penny size ,quarter size ?
drop oil pan or drop fluid and check for small metal shavings to confirm ?
but that does not explain the security alarm triggered or not coming on which is needed to allow start-up , like you mentioned earlier
if all was working and only replace TB body and battery
