Air pump not working

[Jinx]

Yes he is a new guy for us. Recomended by a friend of
Our who drives a 6 series BMW, as the mechanic who we
Normally use got seriously injured in a very bad accident
In his shop. Got hit in the face when removing a front
Coil spring. Anyway the new guys website states he
Works on all foreign cars. Specializing in emission
Systems. After about a hour he calls me out. His
Computer connected to the port under the dash.
Engine cover still on. Tells me he could not hear
The air pump run and that it must be the pump
Because both banks had the same error. Anyway
He states he will need about our hours to check
Out each item separately. Wanted to keep the porsche
Until all needed parts comes in. Made a appointment
But will cancel it next week.

A separate question if I may, the reason he wants to
Keep the car is because he stated he didn't want to
Keep putting the engine covers on and off again.
I don't know a lot about cars and probably should
Not own a porsche but wanted something fun to
Drive. Is there a reason the boxster cannot be
Used with the engine covers off.

Thanks,
Jinx
