Do idle control valves operate like a solinoid on or off, or do they regulate the amount they open and close?

Thanks Pete

Just on or off, if there's an in between there's something wrong.

It starts and cuts out on the turn of the key. Idle's great but I feel like it's idling a bit fast when I rev the car up it takes a while to settle. First thing I thought was air leaks. I've done the WD40 thing and now just done the fairy liquid thing. I can't see or hear any leaks or bubles.
I tested the idle control by disconnecting and touching the wire with the ignition on engine off. I got a spark but couldn't hear a click. So I ran the car and pulled the connector off. It sparked but didn't cut out. Should it?
Thanks
Peter
