Ignition Coils causing car not to start?

So a while back my 2000 boxster needed the pulley on the alternator to be replaced.After i replaced it the car wouldnt start. (Here's a video of it when i try and start it.) Its for sure not the battery, i tried jump starting it and even switched in a battery that was for sure charged.

So after doing some research i thought maybe my spark plugs or ignition coils went bad since they have not been changed since i got the car. I found that the tip of 3 ignition coils were cracked (i attached some photos). The spark plugs also have some oil on them and think i just have to replace the tube and o-ring for that.


My question is whether these problems are significant enough to cause my engine not to start?I have to move the car soon and dont know whether to take it home to work on it if its something i can do, or take it to a mechanic.

Thanks in advance.
