Default wideband showing running lean

Well i cracked a cylinder wall which caused a ton of coolant to rush through my exhaust. I fixed the motor and the car started right up. When im accelerating the wideband goes to 16-17:1 would the coolant have ruined the sensor causing it to give a false reading?

Sensor sounds damaged to me, engines generally won't even run near smooth at load at 17AFR if at all.

Test the sensor before wasting 80 bucks its not hard. Take a rag, soak in carb cleaner, stick sensor in if it goes full rich and stays for a long time sensor is good, if it goes full rich and starts going lean after a short amount of time sensor is bad
