Since i know the connector aint putting out enough juice, its kinda pointless to test it while its plugged in by moving the throttle back and forth aint it?
the tps voltage will increase/decrease with throttle movement. so i its putting out like 1 volt, its more than likely either just barely open, or thats the reading for completely closed.

If you are only getting 1 volt on the powered wire (that should be 5....) have a look at the connector at the PCM, and see if it isn't getting corroded.

In your previous post you said the exhaust system is shot, so why don`t you have that repaired first ?, im sure it would make a huge difference in how your truck runs ?.
