Actually, I was telling my wife that this could be a possibility.....

I will turn it by the nut on the front pulley.

Gilles; DANGER WILL ROBINSON Only use the crank bolt once you have removed all the spark plugs...I'm pretty sure the bolt will turn before the engine does.

Actually, the engine does turn pretty smooth, the only Y split that I found was on the top front part of the engine and checked that the 17mm nut be tight, the connector looks pretty clean.

A member of the Cayman site mentioned that according to his dealer service dept. that loose connectors (at the computer end) are common on the Cayman and Boxter, but here you don't hear much.

I am trying to find a lay out of the main wire harness, so I can try to follow at with a multimeter.

PS: I had turned different engines by the crank pulley (carefully and slowly) and never had an issue
