it will work without it you will just need to let it warm up before driving it or it will constantly stall

it won't cold start correctly as it will not idle high as it should. however if you have a hondata s300 or other tuneable ECU, that can be set to control the cold start/idle via the IACV in accordance to the coolant temp, eliminating the need for a FITV.
