Just for testing purposes, does the default Ctrl-E command work for you? Be patient (some steps take time), but it should start all engines.
Do you run any hardware for the mixture axes by any chance? If so, please disconnect them for one flight and make sure that all the VC start levers are in the up position. On this pic, they are down. Just using the pic to show where the levers are located. You can also use the default FSX key command for 'full rich'.
Move those levers all the way up. All four of them and then try to start the engines. Check again if they're up since e.g. a spiking mixture axis is able to move them down and this will cut off the engine almost instantaneously in FSX or just avoid starting it.
