Engine cutout @ ~1800rpm..after basic maintenance...

Remove the k smart ass. He meant 1800 RPM and 2000 RPM (1.8k and 2k).

Can't help you on the question though. Not sure what would cause that. All I can say is check for loose connections/plugs. Did your MAF get water in it by chance?

right, sorry...rough night- I meant 1800rpm-2000rpm...not K

checking MAF, ICV now

What do you mean the rpm goes from 18k-15k? Do you not have power between then, and while you slow down then all of a sudden you go from 15k to 2.2k? Is your gauge broken too? Please make sense of this because you are missing info.

SO...

Performed valve adjustment
replaced valve gasket
replaced small section of cracked fuel line
...

and for some reason, decided to clean the engine (pressure wash)

NOW THE ISSUE...

engine starts and runs idles just fine.

rev gradually to about 1800-2000K, engine will cut out/hesitate and bounce down to about 1500K, and shoot back up to about 2200K...than will rev normally to 4K without hesitation...

Fuel pump is humming fine, throttle cable is nice and taught...all wires/cable connectors seem okay...

now wtf did I do?

Cam angle sensor?
Fuel Delivery?
Possible to have messed it up during the valve adjustment?

I figure, that if it had to do with the engine wash, it would idle like sh*t, or not start...the car starts up and idles wonderfly.

any ideas?

btw- car is a 1985 325 ETA.
