The full-throttle switch cuts out the closed-loop circuit from the FI
system.  At full throttle, your engine runs solely on the air-flow
sensor and rpm.  If disconnecting this helps, it probably means that the
switch is shorted *and* you have a bad air-flow box.  The O2 sensor,
the main part of closed-loop operation, can do wonders in correcting
the mixture, but generally makes too lean a mixture for full-throttle.
The air-flow box is pretty easy to temporarily fix, and rebuilt ones 
are not too bad in price.
