Default Fuel metering unit help mk4 rst

has anyone got any idea how to set 1 up?
car starts runs like shit at around 1500rpm
then seems ok, then dies then wont start again, presuming its flooded because i can smell fuel?? then seems like its running rich then starts building rpm up by itself to around 2000 then drops to 1500 ish an dies again ha ha
shall i burn it now or later?

Check ignition timing

11deg BTDC with vacuum to ECU unplugged

then check the idle mixture (need a CO2 meter, or know what to listen for) and see how it goes then, could be the fuel pressure needs turned down when the cars going, i.e. not at idle.
