If the voltage goes above 5 sorry to say it but something is wrong with your PCM.

You might be able to get a used PCM at a junkyard that is connected to the national computer system. I picked one up this way last summer for $125. You will need to remove your PCM to get the numbers off it.
The PCM is behind the air filter box on the firewall and is very easy to remove, just be careful to not bend any connector pins.

If you don't have any junkyard luck dealer wants $600 plus for one.

Before you go too far might want to verify your voltmeter is reading right, PCMs don't usually go bad. Good way to test it is the see if you get 1.5 volts out of a new flashlight battery.
