What circuit do you use to control the idle valve? Zetecs have a PWM valve that requires an extra transistor circuit to drive it. I had all the necessary components in the kit, from some other transistor relay key or something that was not needed in my setup. Sorry, I've soldered my MS and got it to idle in October, so I'm already fuzzy on the details.

I use the 'PWM closed-loop' algorithm, crank-to-run taper time 5, valve mode normal, output port FIDLE, 3 wire mode off, freq 306 Hz.

The help says Ford valves use 50-100 Hz, but these frequencies make the valve buzz quite loudly.

I had to bump the after start enrichments quite a bit to make it start reliably.
