Please get some help before you kill some electrical component(s) or start a fire.

But, yes, a decent multimeter and tools to access the wiring/sensors should be all you need. I'm guessing that the problem will be pretty obvious with a visual inspection.

I haven't looked at the wiring diagrams but the 5V reference that Jhill refers to may be internal to the ECM. If so, you will need to check it at the ECM (if possible). If the outputs from the sensors are out of spec (I'm betting that will be the case), the reference is probably not the problem. The 5V ref is just a possibility. I think (and it seems that JHill agrees) that the wiring/sensors is the most likely culprit.
