HELP, engine is bogging at high rpm's.

hey guys, i need some help again. i pressure washed my engine bay today and also used some sea foam in the oil to get rid if some ticking/pinging. then i went to go do a little test drive and experianced total bog down/cut out/or sputtering when i reach round 4500 to 5000 rpms at WOT. it doesn't matter what speed or if power mode engaged. could this be from wet connections or that sea foam or what? if this has happend to you or you have any idea what is going on, please let me know. thanx.

If you went at it hard with a pressruewasher, it may have just gotten some water in electrical connections like in spark plug boots. If this is the case,just go around and unplug various electrical things, blow out any water in the connectors if there is any, and put them back. That should clean all that garbage out.
