Variable Resistor Help!!!

I have an 88 TII and have been having some idle problems. I have searched and read alot of the threads that have dealt with the problem.

Today I was checking out my variable resistor and forgot to plug it back in. When I started my car I could tell that it was idling perfect. I drove the car and it ran perfect, I was so excited and then I remember that I had forgot to plug it back in. When I did it idled the same as before. Which is very low after it warms up and gets hot. 500 or 600 rpm

What would happen if I just left the variable resistor unplugged?

Since its only used at idle and no other time, leave it disconnected. Must be some fail safe mode that it goes to that fits your car to a tee.
