That's definitely a Ford PWM IAC valve in the picture.

PWM warmup. "Solenoid" is just on or off.

Just to make sure I got that right.
This valve in the picture above is a Fast Idle valve, isn't it?

I'm in Megatune and also with the help of the manual at http://www.megamanual.com/mt28.htm#sd
What would Algorithm be set to: Solenoid? is that right?
Yep..You got it right. the valve is actually inside the aluminium housing, the solenoid that makes it move is in the silver can. there are two ports on the other side, one hooks to the intake, the other to the air cleaner via hoses which you connect by tapping pipe threads in the housing and installing pipe nipples. I've seen some guys use a plate bolted to the bottom as well, with holes drilled and tapped for pipe nipples. I really need this on my Cougar, I guess I got to get off my butt and install it.
