Get your error codes and narrow the search first. A Porsche DME is very sensitive. There are about 200 possible reasons a CEL came on... anything a from loose gas cap or dip stick to total engine failure. If it is serious your CEL will flash which means stop driving now. A steady light indicates a minor issue. You can go to Autozone and get your CEL codes read for free or buy a pocket code reader for about $40 to keep in your car.

Get your error codes and report back here. Someone has surely experienced the same issue and can tell you if it a simple DIY or indy repair tech time.
