 need help! 5ME cold start problems, and ABV questions

ok, cold start problems with 5ME. starts quite well, but idle drops to around 500 and hunts up and down like a bitch. misses and farts like nothing else, and even with slight throttle depression, still doesn't come good. can smell the unburnt fuel coming out of the exhaust.
once the car warms up, it idles and runs quite well ( albeit, quite rich ).
i have tested the ABV, and it wont open, so this is obviously part of the problem.
can i take the slide valve out of the ABV so it is permantly open??? will this pose problems once the engine is warm???
the CSI has been serviced, along with the rest of the injectors, so i presume that it is working fine.
is there anything else that could be contributing to cold idle problems?? EGR equipment etc??
the ignition system has been thouroughly tested, along with the fuel system pressures etc, and all are working fine.
any help greatly appreciated.
thanks.
lee.

yeah, i have a spare one around here, but i think its pretty stuffed as well.
i put it in near boiling water, let it heat up, and then connected the plug, and turned the car ignition to 'on'. the valve did not close any more ( was slightly open to begin with ).
i then put it in refridgerated water ( around 4 degrees ), and followed the same process but it still did not move.
am i not testing it right, or can i conclude that this one is stuffed.
if it is no good, can these still be had through toyota for reasonable money, or am i reduced to gambling on one found at a wreckers??
thanks.
