Lack of fuel probably because the afm has it's plug (electrical) off. If that plug is on the afm, then jumper the yellow in color, two socket, fuel pump check connector near the right front strut tower, then try starting again. IF the engine stays running, then .........we can go from there. Free download of the FSM is available online for.........free. FUEL AND EMISSIONS chapter will do.

Your original question is very unclear. After the car initially stalls, if you restart and give it a bit of pedal does it continue running?
If you can't get it to stay running, then the AFM is likely the cause.
If you can keep it running with a little but of the accelerator pedal, then you should check:
1. Vacuum leaks
2. AWS solenoid
3. BAC
4. Cold start cam

As Aaron stated several posts ago, your description of the problem is very vague. To help us help you, you need to be clear on a few things.
First, what year and what model (turbo/NA)
What happens if you play with the pedal when starting/running?
Did you ever put gas in it to eliminate that problem? If your gas gage does not work, track the status of the gas tank by using the trip odometer (fill up the tank everytime you get gas).
How did you check your AFM?
Did you do anything to the car just prior to this occurring?
Have you checked all vacuum hoses?
You've had a couple of the forums best post in your thread. Most likely they know what the problem is, but they cannot help if you are not descriptive enough.
