Build one, it's easy.
cfi ? or carb? slp sells one for carbed models. 145.00
ya I figured you were looking for cfi. Good luck.
Anybody care to explain the difference? Is not the output the same? or very close?
Difference between the carb or CFI, and relation to the tool? I couldn't tell ya. Different plugs on the TPS???
Reading thru the twenty or so threads on the subject, since the rack style carbs came out on the EDGE's with them. The box to feed the exactly 5.00 Volts DC is the same, the connector is the same, the only difference is the setting procedure and the values that are expected from the TPS.

Check on Ebay, I think there are some for less than $50. I built my own but am still considering buying the one on eBay just for the connector. It is a huge pain dealing with the alligator clips on the one I built.

TPS tool
I have 2 old cell phone chargers here that say they put out 5 vdc i am going to try and use these as the supply. Does any one see a reason why this won't work?

I just cut the TPS plug off of an old Edge wiring harness I had laying around and used it instead of the clips.. Old wiring harnesses that have the TPS plug are plentiful and cheap if you dont already have one laying around..
As long are they are VERY close and steady at 5.00 volts.. (4.99 - 5.01 volts).
Setting the TPS... make sure that you are PRECISE in how you do it or your sled will run like crap.

I actually wondered about this also.. I have tons of chargers that put out 5 vdc.
While advertised as 5 VDC chargers, most are not consistent enough for setting the TPS. According to what I read in all the other threads, some are smart chargers and vary the voltage and rate which makes them useless for this. Others show 5 VDC at no load but when a load is applied go under voltage again making them useless for this. All I can say is try them but be warned you may have to repeat the process.
Good advise.. I guess I could try it and worse case, I could just use the tool I know I have that works to set it again if the first attempt with the power supply failed.. I am going to use my PCV to set the TPS on the sled I am building when the time comes anyway. Not sure it will be any faster then the tool though. Just something new I havent done before so figured would give it a try.. :face-icon-small-hap
I have read through several of these TPS threads but don't believe I have seen why you cant just start the sled up and let the PCM send its 5V signal to the TPS? Cant you just back probe the TPS connector while its running and adjust? Eric
Tonka1020's Ebay link for TPS testor
Here is an Ebay link I just came across. I now have knowledge of the quality of the part.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/281078141540
I have now received mine and the quality is good. Turns out he is a forum member as well, Known as "Tonka1020" on SW. Good guy to deal with and produces a quality part for the $. I have no reservations recommending this link.
Just be certain you follow the procedure for your particular engine and use a quality meter (the sub-$100 meters give you questionable settings and lead to questionable performance).
