Question Idle Control Valve

Does anybody run their car with the ICV electrical connection unplugged (preferable answer being yes in replies)? Or better yet does anybody know if it is harmful to the valve to do such?

Default why

do these valves have to be so temperamental? I replaced my older one that blew out the diaphragm with a used one and cleaned it but it runs like my original part did when the power is cut to it. Its strange
