Yes it is , but not in the way you think. The ECU is doing its best to keep the engine running by compensating for faulty signals from the MAF and O2 sensors. Those signals are junk because there is a vacuum leak behind the MAF sensors. Hence the engine is running lean to various degrees.

Fix the vacuum leak. The ECU is just fine.
