2883 Trouble Code after Walnut Blast

Performed a walnut blast on my car about a week ago and I'm getting a reduced power warning and a P2883 trouble code. Waste Gate Control Valve.

From what I can see everything is hooked back up and plugged in. It idles smoothly and at the proper RPM so I don't think its a vacuum leak. When cleared the code comes back immediately. Does anyone have any suggestions before I tear it all back apart? The only other thing, which I don't think is related, is my battery is weak so after sitting all week i had to charge it before it would start the car.

I found this while searching. So I think think I had the waste gate control valve unplugged but it's plugged in now. Is there a way to test this guy?https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-manifold.html

This is a 2011 fJCW w/64K miles. No codes or troubles before the work was performed.

make sure the plugs are the CORRECT plugs...the purge valve and WGCV are somewhat similar and when you push the plug hard, it will go in even if it is the wrong one.

That was it. Switched the connectors last night and warning went away. Full power (and speed) ahead. Thanks!
