Yes, a bad TPS has been known to cause stalling after you let off the throttle. It could be one of a few things.

1) Simply needs to be re-adjusted
2) It's actually bad
3) Your throttle plate is sticking open slightly, thus the ECU doesn't detect the IDL contact (for idleWink)
4) Your throttle linkage is sticking.

First, check the easy stuff, throttle linkage and plate. Make sure they're not sticking, and that the plate closes all the way. Next, go on to check the TPS via the TSRM. See here:

Also, your vacuum seems quite low. You should be looking for around 20in/hg.
