Hi everyone, new guy here, hope someone can help?

my 996tt 2001 tip awd will not start, it turns over, I can hear the fuel pump run, I can smell fuel from the exhaust, it does not fire up. I borrowed a VDO code reader from a friend no engine issues but it has 2 fault codes under the body tab.

see images, any help appreciated cheers Paul.

First of all, welcome to RennTech :welcomeani:

 

Lesson #1:  Porsche uses unique diagnostic logic on their cars, which mean you need access to a Porsche specific scan tool (PST II, PIWIS, Durametric) to get accurate information.  I'm not sure that the VDO, which is primarily configured as a VAG or VW scanner can accurately read your system.

 

If the VDO read out is correct, you have four codes, two for cam position timing issue, two others for O2 sensor issues.  I'm not sure why the VDO is saying otherwise, but my first move would be to get the car scanned with a Porsche system before you start chasing your tail needlessly.
