It appears that the wire colors aren't the same on my car (93 Stealth TT), but that's not surprising, because I've found many differences in wiring colors between different years/models. So being not electrically inclined, I wanted to confirm the wiring so that I hopefully won't screw anything up.
I believe that the 5V signal is pretty straightforward: it is PIN #1 as identified in the 3/S repair manual, correct? (the uppermost wire when it is connected to the TPS) FYI: I checked this in the manual to make sure, and on my car the color is green/yellow, not green/white as you stated.
For the EGRT signal and ground, the wire colors on mine are white/black and black. I believe that the white/black is PIN #1 as identified in the manual, and the black is PIN #2 as identified in the manual. So I'm assuming that PIN #2 is the wire that needs to be connected to ground on the MAP sensor, and that PIN #1 is the signal from the MAP sensor?
Is that right?
Logic / reasoning sounds good. However, I am troubled by the differences in the colors. The color coding I posted was straight out of the manual and I don't recall any differences when I went to hook it up.

UPDATE: Went back and checked notes / schematic and you are right about TPS, it is Green/Yellow, not Green/White. Manual says EGRT sig is LightGreen/Black but I will check this tomorrow to make sure.

I would suggest you confirm all voltages with a meter before connecting to the MAP sensor.

+5 signal from TPS sensor should +5V +/- 5% with respect to chassis/EGRT ground
EGRT Ground should be very close to chassis ground
EGRT signal should measure ~ +4.5V with respect to ground
