The throttle cable and shift cable on a 1984 40 HP Mercury outboard engine is installed by raising the access panel and locating the appropriate connectors. Each cable is then attached to the engine to control its speed and gearing.
The throttle cable may be broken.
remove the bad cable and put the good one! ;-)
TPS usually means throttle position sensor, and it doesn't have a "cable".
The throttle cable is located on top of the throttle body.
A push-pull throttle is a very misunderstood thing. It is a dual cable throttle operation where in the pull cable is what opens the throttle plates. And, the push cable along with a throttle return spring is what closes the throttle plates.
The throttle cable is not adjustable.
The throttle cable does not go from the transmission to the throttle body.
There is no adjustment on the throttle cable.
check the recalls there is something in there about the throttle positioning cable that was manufactured with a burr on the end of the cable... try that they will replace it for free.
check the recalls for the 99 mercury cougar!! it includes a recall on the throttle cable...

This transmission is not electronic, its is operated via a throttle valve control cable running from the throttle body to the transmission bell crank.
