I need to start my car!!

I noticed that one of my oil metering line was broke
Can this be the reason for my car not starting?

I checked for compression and it was ok
i'm getting spark
And I think my injectors are working because I can smell the gasoline after i crank
I tried the unflooding technique by pulling out the egi fuses but that didn't work
What else could it be??
Maybe it's heavily flooded?

oil OML wont have anything to do with it not running. my car is running in the oposit direction and closes off the OMP when i give throttle and opens when im at idle. and car runs good beside it have a exhaust leak. from wht i was told the rotary could run for a short period of time with out the pump but was perferd not to play with it. look on ebay i picked up a set of braided ones for a realy good price and iv seen set of used stock ones on there starting at $10 shipped. when u tried the EGI fuse trick did u pull the plugs out to clear the housing of old fuel ?if your realy flooded out pull the blugs and with the EGI fuse pulled crank a few times and leave the plug out for a few minutes and then crank it again then put the plugs back in. the fuel should dry up and solve the flooding problem. check your vacumes for leaks and make sure your mass air flow is on rite. after that if u have problems look around on here for help. i dont know what i would do with out these forums

A lot of coolant seeped into the engine through the fuel injector hole...
When I was testing the compression, some muddy liquid spurted out from the engine

I also noticed that the screw for the pulsation damper was completely loose when I was working on it. So i tightened it all the way. Was that the mistake? Maybe too tight?
