Yep, I just did the same thing, and just fixed the problem. Take a small flat-head, or knife, and cut open the top black box on the AFM. Make sure ALL 3 connectors are on their proper tongs, the longest connector goes on the long gold, the shortest goes on the V prong, the part with the hole, and the middle-length goes on the far right prong. Their is a picture of this somewhere on the forum. But anyways, I had no problems with those connections. It was the "tin" like peices that connect to the bottom, E2's. Make sure all 3 have proper connection(are touching the prongs), and that none of them are touching EACH OTHER. Mine is running great again now

if you changed the fuel line I hope you did a top notch job... our FI systems are fairly high pressure system

got a guage you can put on the end to check fuel presure? after reviewing your post....question, is the starter turning over? also if it is when you turn on the pump do you smell any gas?
