First, the TPS is not read by the MS as a variable resistance, it's read as a variable voltage. You put +5 on one side, ground the other, and you now have a voltage divider. As the wiper moves across the TPS resistor, the voltage at the wiper varies from 0 to 5v.
You did hook up +5Vref to pin 2K (light green / white) and you grounded pin 2D (black / blue), yes? Measure with a voltmeter between 2M (red / blue) and GND with the MS powered up and you should see the voltage vary from .5 to 4.5 (or so) as you depress the pedal.
