P0238 code

1. I replaced the serpentine belt - pretty straightforward. Of course I disconnected the air inlet silencer. I saw a little oil in the silencer when I disconnected the hose to it.
2. I noticed a bunch of grime on the front of the engine around my cam magnets (I have the pigtails). I took a connector off both magnets and there was oil in them. I sprayed some degreaser in the plugs and let it drip. I took the exhaust cam magnet off to look at it. Made a note to get a new set of cam magnets, o-rings, and grommets from rmeuropean, wiped the cam magnet cover off and bolted it back on the engine. Then sprayed some degreaser around the area and wiped it off.
3. I attempted to get to the MAF to clean it as I had never done that on this car. When I got to the part where you disconnect the duct from the MAF to where it goes down to those hose clamps, I chickened out. I still had the stock MB hose clamps and I couldn't even see it so I reconnected the big plugs on the right (looking from the front) of the air box, the booster hose, and screwed the back bolts of the air box back in.
4. I put supercharger oil in my supercharger. I did not notice that some of the oil leaked out. Maybe I didn't insert the tube I used to feed it oil deep enough into the SC because there was a little puddle of oil on the floor when I started putting everything back together.
5. checked my timing chain. I had a hard time getting the plastic cam cover loose and in the end was only able to lift it an inch or so because it was catching on the air box. I also didn't fully disconnect the wiring harness that crosses the cover from the right side toward the rear to the left side toward the front. I was able to see that my chain was tight and I screwed the cam cover back down.
6. I replaced the connector to the water reservoir near the engine because it snapped off.
7. I took off the duct on the air intake (throttle body?) next to the SC and cleaned the throat and butterfly in there as best I could with MAF cleaner.
I put everything back together. I have a sinking feeling that I missed connecting an electric plug but I have looked three times and don't see anything unplugged. I double checked all my other hose connections, etc.
I test drove it and it ran fine but seemed low on power (duh! - no SC!).
Any help, comments, advice, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
