Ford runs them at 300 Hz. Most of the settings will need to be dialed in depending on your engine's particular intake and airflow needs.

What Matt said. Throttle blade position dictates min and max setting, and cams play a lot with the pid stuff. I run a ford motor on mine and I love it

so wiring it one wire is to a switched 12 sores from the ECU and the other is a signel wire to operate the valve correct.

Yes. One wire 12v switched from say the coil relay and a PWM output from the Ecu to the ground side. Most ford valves are polarity specific, so if it doesn't work then swap wires

Did you test the valve manually? And have you tried flipping the hoses. If the valve is plumber backwards vacuum can suck the plunger open
