I have two MAF sensors and have tried using both but doesnt fix the problem, car runs but idles really low and eventually dies. I try to get my rpms to go up but the car bogs down and starts to sputter. Tried diagnosing the electrical connector to the MAF sensor from the harness and my readings were: (with engine idling) terminal 3 showed 5.5 V but the spec says it should be between 2.2-3.2 V, Terminal 7 (engine idling) I got Battery voltage when idling but it says i should have gotten 0-1V.
After checking these readings i checked the ECM connector side, Terminal 19 (with ignition switch on) should read 6-9 V and i got 6.06V i checked the connector and everything looks good, would it possibly be my ECM is bad ?
 
Nah, you have a boost leak or vacuum leak. If you unplug the mass air flow sensor with the car running the map sensor will take over and the car will idle better. The map sensor is a much more accurate reading, but the basic coding of the 80's era ecu coding just takes temperature readings and calibration based on the mass air flow sensor

So get a cheap harbor freight air compressor and perform a boost leak test. You probably have a coupler or something loose on the intercooler
