Default 850 not idling

I am new to the forum and recently purchased an 850 GLT. Motor runs great after its warmed up. Upon first starting, it stalls and does not idle. I have replaced the fuel filter, cleaned the throttle bodies, used a can of fuel injector cleaner. I am clueless on what to do next. anyone have any suggestions ?

is the car running rich? what year is it? I would suggest a stage 0. It could be a variety of things, O2 sensor to a cracked vacuum line.

I would also add a PCV into that stage 0.

Do you have a CEL or any codes?

Also, clean your MAF. As well as your IAC. (with the CORRECT cleaners)

When you start it, how long does it stay running? Have you checked fuel pressure? Has the car ever run?

When I start it, it runs for about 6 seconds. Fuel pressure is good.
