Another Starting Problem 95 Max

Yes yes I know search, and search I have, while people have described somewhat similar problems I can't seem to find someone with something the same.

Basically it cranks and cranks and cranks, finally starts, only to sputter, idle very low (300rpm) and rough and eventually just stall out leaving all the dash lights on. Sometimes I'll turn key again and nothing happens (one time i was under the hood and my buddy was starting it and nothing happened but i could hear it clicking faintly). Sometimes I turn the key and it will fire up again and try go to low rpms and stall out , but if i hit the gas right away and rev it up it normalizes itself and runs fine afterwards.

I;ve changed plugs, fuel filter was thinking about grounding but starting to think that might not be the problem, any input would be appreciated, if you need details I will try to post a video of exactly what happens.

If you'd noticed in any other starting threads, one of the first questions asked...codes?

For the low idle after startup, I would first clean the IACV.

Have you checked both CKPS'/CPS and their connectors?

I do have codes for O2 sensor (rear bank)

I was thinking about cleaning out IACV, would that alleviate the low idle/stall?

Did you even read my entire post? I said to clean out the IACV...

Also, you didn't respond to any other questions in the post...
