Help! My car wont start!

Well first the nipple on my MAP sensor broke I tried to fix it with epoxy and drilling it out. Well I am guessing this is what happened. That the map sensor broke again. and the engine was running rich. and it sat with the turbo timer and it ran out of gas. I then think it sucked up some water and I think that the gas lines then froze. Now it wont start. It tries tio turn over but wont start. I did have it running shortly today but It wont Idle it just dies. what can I do to start it. also I am limited on what I can do since it is stuck in the parking lot at work. Please help before my car gets stripped.

I am not sure if there was any at the bottom of the gas tank. But anyway it has warmed up a bit and still wont start. The engine wants to turn over but just dies.

I wouldn't be surprised if the engine's simply flooded...
