5 volts isent right, that should be the reading you get at WOT. 0% throttle should read around .96 volts. Check the way you hooked up your meter, I'm not sure how you adjust it, but try loosing it and turning it. See if that works

It has been a while but I think you should put the positive lead on the green wire.
