Yep, that's basically the question at hand. It doesn't work and I can't find a replacement immediately, but if I unplug it the car idles fine, just throws a cel.

So what'll happen with it gone? I think it's not a sensor, so no input would change, just no output, right?

When you first start up your car it will likely surge really badly. I ran that way for a while, no coolant to the throttle body, but i got sick of the idle surge that would be there until my car heat soaked. I had no other issues though.

It is all the time regardless of how heated the car is.
