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 ?

I would also add a PCV into that stage 0.

Do you have a CEL or any codes?

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.
