No problem. Let us know if you get some fuel by pushing down the AFM a hair. If you have an extra person to turn the key and crank for you and you slightly push the AFM plate down and she starts then at least you are getting closer to the issue. On the 190Rev forum there is a whole 15+ page thread about the AFM and adjustment. That is where we found the cracked boot that can be an issue. On cold days the rubber is stiff before startup so it will leak much more if it is cracked. Then it will warm up and become more plyable and thus the car will run. Not well but it will run. I noticed my boot was cracking when I did my head gasket. Not to bad to replace if that is it. 20 bucks for the part and an hour to an two hours depending on ability to replace it. You basically remove the Top Part of the AFM that holds the fuel distributor as an assembly. It is three bolts and disconnect the fuel lines at the injectors and walla it is off. Well you need to unscrew the strap that holds the AFM Boot to the Throttle Body. Then with the AFM off you remove the 12-14 bolts and reverse and you are all set. If it is the problem I would take the time to thouroughly clean everything while apart. I hope that is the problem but if not let us know and we will go further.....
