I personally follow the golden rule, if it was put there it was put there for a good reason, Volvo back then being as good a car company as they were, and building engines with less parts then the american car's and building them to last, i would think it is there for good reason's, could possible be for Smog issues' could also be there so information can be relayed back to the computer so the computer can make other adjustments. Ive never in my life met a mechanic that would replace and electrical part with something like you have spoken about.

It may work but id be cautious. for the price of the valve i would just replace it. Also keep in mind just what that motor does, it adjusts the idle all the time to keep the car idleing at the desired speed, which is supposed to be 800-900 rpm's. if you start having other problems with other parts that motor can adjust and keep the car running, with what you have that probly wont happen.
