Default Idle valve frequency

I'm getting my megasquirt installed at the moment and have it up and running but the idle is too low and it seems to me that the idle valve is currently not working as it should. Does anyone know the operational frequency of this valve? Its a FRST engine with the valve on the side of the intake as shown below.

Cheers
JAmes.

Do you have it fed off a relay? Whats the target idle and what's it actually idling at?

It works at any frequency you drive it with. I have the frequency divider set to 254 on my Megasquirt with the same valve. Running it at too high a frequency was driving my drive FET quite hot.
