I believe my TPS is starting to go out, I have a 2004 Mercury Optimax with 362 hours on it. The motor seems to drag before it will fire up, sometimes it will take up to 20 seconds of cranking before it will run. I had it into Cabela's in KC last Feb. and he told me then that it was starting to go out, but throughout the summer and fall I noticed that I have dropped 400 - 500 rpm and only able to top out at 57 mph when I was getting 62 mph. Is this also caused by a faulty TPS.
I have checked on the European Marine website for a new TPS but can't seem to find which category it is labeled under. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
