In addition to the Throttle Position Switch working, it must be adjusted
properly.  It needs to click at the slightest movement of the accelerator.
The symptoms you describe sound like a switch adjusted a bit out.

Subject: Help!! sputtering on deceleration

When I am cruising at Hwy. speed and decelerate a small
amount (just letting up pressure on the peddle, release peddle only 1/16
inch) the engine will buck and kick the Van around. I can
accelerate and it will run smooth again with smooth power.
It also has problems making a smooth shift. I have checked
the TPS switch which seems only to come into play on idle and
full open. It is clicking just fine. This problem is 80% of the time.
