Will a bad wideband sensor cause engine problems?
So for the last few weeks my car has been sputtering and hesitating between 3-5k and when I go WOT it feels like it's running on three cylinders (lack of power) can that be due to my wideband sensor kicking the bucket?
^ this. also what is your engine management?
If you don't have lean protection enabled, then a bad wideband should be irrelevant at WOT, as the computer is running in open loop and not using the info from the wideband (unless you have certain newer high dollar VE based standalone's).

I'm using an AEM V2 and I've never messed with it due to not having a pc I had it tuned at Churches. It's sputtering at low rpm too though, and when I go WOT it stops sputtering but it feels like there's barely any power and I can hear a difference in the sound. It doesn't sound like a boxer. Just sounds like weak.

I think the fuel pump with stock wiring seems like the culprit. Someone with more knowledge will chime in but I'm pretty sure you'd want to beef up that wiring. I've seen a handful of posts on this matter so that's where I'd start.
But how come it ran fine with the stock wiring for a week or so until it started having the problem?

Have you inspected the spark plugs yet?
