I drive a 2000 Mitsubishi Galant (v6). I recently purchased an after market radio because my current one had issues with the volume control. I decided to install the new one myself to save some money. I got the set up to work, unplugged everything and reassembled my dash with the new stereo. I turned on the car and my stereo didn't turn on. I blew a fuse on the car and replaced it. The radio no longer works but power was restored to the car. However, when I turn on the car it will start idk then immediately die. I have tried multiple fixes like holding the idle manually for a few minutes and disconnecting and reconnecting the battery. I'm at my wits end and unsure what I need to do to fix this.

Sounds like you have a dirty throttle body......Get some throttle body cleaner, a little brush and rag......Take the intake hose off, open the throttle plate and clean it out......should idle after that

Does it stay running if you feather the throttle? Maybe you should check all your fuses related to the engine management system. Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.
