Idle Air Control valve is more likely to affect your jeep at idle.. TPS would be a more likely fix and they're pretty easy to test with an analog volt/ohm meter. If it seems to be 'searching' for the right gear more than 'bucking', i'd check/adjust the TV cable. Engine off, press the adjuster button and push the cable housing all the way back into the adjuster housing. Release the button and open the throttle to wide open. You should hear the adjuster 'ratchet' as it self adjusts. Test drive.
