You could probably do that, but it might not idle well in cold weather or
with the A/C on.  You would just have to let enough air into the system so
that it will idle under all conditions.

If you have any kind of solenoid valve, you could use that to let more air
in when the weather is cold or accessories are on.  You can let air in
anywhere in the intake -- even a vacuum line.  It's a miracle their are more
problems with "unintended acceleration" due to a vacuum leak.

Some other manufacturers use a pulse width modulated solenoid to do the same
function. 

Hope this helps,

Paul
