Pull the plug on it and see what happens, probably get a CEL and won't idle when hot/cold.

All I know is mine was playing up until I removed it and cleaned it all up and trying to brake for a junction and keep it from stalling was a nightmare.

I never said you can run without, I just described my experience of running with a problematic one.

you "could" run without one but you'd need to make some adjustment on the throttle body somehow....... but! soon as you load the system at all.. air con, heater blower etc etc it'll run rough..... as said you'll also struggle when coming of throttle to keep it going...

It could be done but why would you? its not like it only works at certain points, its working all the time....

Its called a idle control valve for a reason it lets your car sit at the right rpm when sitting stationary and why go to all the hassel to delete it in the first place beats me .
