4) would a bad egr valve cause the car to run rich or does it act like a boost leak?

1) They're very delicate and part of the actual sensor is ceramic. If dropped or subjected to similar shock they can be easily ruined. Yes, it is possible, but it's not all that common for a relatively new sensor to just die on its own over night.

2) and 3) It depends entirely how the wideband is setup and what it's capable of. Most wideband controllers have at least one analog output which can be used to emulate the stock narrowband sensor allowing you to remove the stock sensor. I couldn't tell you how yours was installed... You'll need to figure that out on your own. If the wideband is supplying an emulated narrowband signal to the ECU you MUST NOT connect a narrowband sensor. Typically in these installations you would delete the engine bay wiring for the narrowband sensor altogether and plug the sensor's bung.

4) No and neither.

Agreed. Go back over everything you handled. You didn't drop or spray cleaner into the AFM, I hope....?
