Default still not starting

whats up guys i just got done putting my b7 in my car today. the injector o rings are shot they are leaking. i am not stupid i know they need replaced. but will they prevent the car from starting. it putted a little bit but that was it. im pretty sure it is the reason it wont start

one last question. i just want to make sure i got the plug wires right

so while i was out switching my plug wires around. I turned on my headlights to check all my lights. when i turned them on the headlights came on but the tail lights and front corner lights did not. if i can remember right when i first got the car last spring on cold nights it did the same thing a few times. any ideas what it could be.

i think it busted O rings would prevent the car from starting since it wont hold a compression. the air/fuel mixture will leak on the compression stroke.
correct me if im wrong.

so its

when i changed my fuel rail a while back I ripped a couple of the o-rings and the gas was spraying EVERYWHERE and it still ran perfect, so i dont think leaking injectors would cause it not to start

Default Re: Tail lights not turning on in EG hatch

so i went out to try and start it again. now the o rings are not leaking any more dont ask me why. but it still will not start. its getting spark and fuel. what should i check next timing???? then go with the compression test. does the ground have to be there from the valve cover to the core support. i dont have one there.
