Idle speed control.
Dont need it but you cant take it off so just block up the lines separately.

[Hen is a total nutcase]

Yes, that's the idle speed control valve.

However if possible I'd leave the water lines attached. There is a bimetallic coil inside the valve, so the valve centre position actually changes as the coolant temp changes. Probably not a big deal, but leaving the lines connected may make a slight difference to the time taken to reach idle/overshoot.

Broke the magnets in the sensor ages ago, just thorough it out and set the idle manually and havent had a problem
