The excessive slack in the cable is usually due to the ball stud on the throttle arm being in an incorrect position, or the linkage rod between the spool assembly and the throttle arm is adjusted too long. The greenbook gives a good procedure on how to dial this in. If you don't find it, we can attempt an explanation here.

With the altitude switch, if fooling with those connections makes a noticeable difference in the way it runs, you want to bypass it for now, since it sounds like you've got some uncontrolled timing changes happening. Longer term leaving it that way or replace with a tested good switch both work. Happy to send you one in May when I will be in the location where those spares are stored.
