When I replaced my MU I was warned by the gurus at TRGB to disconnect coil to stop it burning out , turn ignition on ie get fuel pump working , leave for 45 mins, essentially this is to clear air locks etc. OK I didnt believe them either aand yes symptoms were similar to yours. Needless to say having followed instructions , car started immediately and ran perfectly from then on. Simple eh !

Should be timed with No 1 at TDC on the fireing stroke and No 6 injector with half a hole in the rotor visible.
