    The 5v reference is generated by a voltage regulation circuit in the PCM. Start by checking your connectors for corrosion. Got a pinout for your PCM? You can check the voltage at the source if you need to. Also check your ground stud under the battery tray and the main engine ground wiring.
    The GPs are long gone...

    Unplug the TPS sensor, drive it see what it does. If it drives fine, its a bad TPS replace it. NO WOT WITHOUT A GOOD WORKING TPS!!! Been there, done that. Good luck....
