Got into the ECU. Pin B6, which feeds 5v to TPS (Gray/red wire) , .25 volts. Not good.
Despite advice from fixkick, here's what I did: (I hot wired ECU,........ I had nothing to lose):
Traced pin B6 back to its source, which is apparently a regulated voltage source, on its own board, mounted vertically on main board. 5 volts to B6 circuit absent there also.
Looking at this from the end of the ECU which is AWAY from the connectors, this small board has 9 soldered connections on bottom, 4 on the left, 5 on the right.
I found 5 volts source at #1 on left, see images. Connected that to 2 & 3 of the 5 on the right with small wire.. DTC gone, CEL not on, runs like new.

sorry i thought you told me 5vdc was ok at TPS.
and yes your custom hybrid, device inside is a mess.
happens alot on these very old Cars.
my ecu fix page states to check the 5vdc first, for good reasons
here is the quoted text that confused me, sorry (i get , got me, LOL)
"I get 5 volts, but no voltage at any time from the Gray/red wire, which I understand is the 5v reference voltage."
I thought that meant ECU 5v is ok (I get) and the wire was dead. so all posts by me were are wrong, above.
The practice of hot wiring parts, naively is bad. (hot wiring ECU or any sensor with ground or power blows them up)
blowing up traces, blowing up hybrid chip pins (the chip is not sold) or blowing up this protectors.
