I have been having bad stumbling problems with my car, and I think I have narrowed it down to the IAT sensor. If the sensor was bad would it behave the same if it was unplugged?

I cleaned it and ran the car and it still stumbled, so I disconnected it and it ran the same. Would that indicate that it was a bad sensor.
