Since there is only one point of connection for a water source to your toilet, the valve can be your only faulty item. A leaky pipe in the wall would have the opposite effect, you would be less likely to have water flowing to the toilet.
I would recommend shutting off water at the meter, open a faucet to releive pressure in the line, remove the valve and replace with new.
