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.

OK Checked the TPS switch and it works fine. adjusted it so
it clicks just as the throttle starts to open.

I think this happened after i washed the engine with water
any other help
