The only thing you can do is clean the valve in a static position. Perhaps u shuld try an after market. Often times they are OEM parts packaged in another box Good luck

Suggested Repair

The idle control valve cannot be fully tested off the vehicle. Clean the valve in a static position, and if replacement is still needed, consider an aftermarket unit, which is often an OEM part in different packaging.
