My C250D loom that comes to the injector pump had a short so I only feed 2 wires on the solenoid and left the other 2 wires not connected, can it be a reason why it not starting

Can a 4 pin plug affect the starting of the car, supplied 2 wires with power the solenoid, the other two I didn't connect them, can they contribute to the problem of not starting

Yes, The solenoid has to have a ground to work, and the other wire is probably a return signal to the ECU.
