Unhappy Wtf! Idle Air Control Valve buzzing and can't drive car (home)!

Start the car for my lunch break and it starts fine, sounds normal. I step on the gas and it stumbles like crazy. I had let it warm up to 60c and it seemed fine. It was fine on the drive to work. If I press the gas hard it dies. If I try slowly it's a bucking bronco. I open the hood to check the map sensor and the line is connected. I start the car and go to the engine to see if it shakes with throttle. It doesn't shake but it stumbles and dies. After it died the IACV was buzzing like crazy. I unplug it and the noise goes away. I try starting with it unpluged but it won't hold idle. I click my battery relay which is easier then disconecting the negative, wait a few, plug IACV back in and try again but the same thing. I tried to see if it would smooth out with gas and drove down the parking lot but it dies between shifts and I have to hold it at 4krpm which I don't like. The car is warm by now but I should be able to drive at 2k rpms.

Can I bypass the IACV by disconecting it and turning up the idle to take it home or just tow it and oder a new one on monday. Would a faulty IACV be the cause of this?
