The throttle seems jumpy

The throttle seems jumpy
I need some help here,
I have a 1997 F250 With the 7.3 Standard Transmission Runs great. The problem I'm having is when Im starting off or when I'm in a parking lot and want to give it a little fuel it seems to take off and If I let off and try to feather the throttle it seems to buck. Its very hard to give it a little fuel.
So, I have read posts and was thinking it was the TPS. So I changed out the fuel peddle and it seems to be about the same, maybe a little better but for the most part the same.
Is there anything else I need to be looking at?
Thanks for your help and hope I explained the problem.

First, we have completely different engines.
Second, I had those exact symptoms with my truck and just fixed it this weekend. If I'm idling around a parking lot at say, 7mph, I can't just give it a little gas and go 8 or 9mph. It jumps all the way to 12-15. I'm making these numbers up, but that's the scenario.
My problem was partially clogged fuel injectors. Now that I cleaned them, the problem is gone and it accelerates nice, gentle and smooth off idle. Hope this helps, it's something to check anyway.
