Well... yeah. It's the idle air control. If it can't fix the air going in at idle, then the car might stall out due to being starved of air.

That's not to say a pristine throttle body might not let air in enough for it to stumble about trying to stay running, but a dirty throttle body might spell curtains.

So... I'mma go with maybe... and also ask, what's the need to know? Why are you disconnecting it?

Try a fuel filter first.
