Good to see that you haven't given up yet! This reading may not necessarily be influenced by the wrong connection since the multimeter actually is calculating duty-cycle by looking at the "on-time" of the signal. Anyway what you should do is to check your reading with ignition on (not starting the engine). If you see a 70% reading you are ok! If not swap the test connectors to see if it makes a difference.
If your reading was fixed 38 % it could be a fault indication. It is close to 40% which indicates a problem with the connection to the airflow sensor. Also a 50% reading is indication of an inactive O2 sensor, which is what you will have all the time during warm-up (unless you have another sensor problem). Try pulling the coolant sensor connector and you will have a 30% reading.
