need more input. Where is idleDC when you manually set it near an idle rpm?
Use teh warmup mode (open loop) and trial and error it until you get an idleDC theat gives an idle near your target speed.

Hit F1 and read through the help info. Hope it will help.

As Keith says, try different values until you like it. Warmup only is fairly easy to tune and is stable.
I use a sierra valve, but on a Rover V8 so my DC will be quite different. For reference though, my settings are:
idle valve freq 100
cranking 60
idle lower 55
idle upper 5
lower temp 25
upper temp 80

I would expect you to need to reduce the idle lower from 55 down to say 30 ? due to the reduced engine size
