PLEASE HELP- new to the forum

As of now, my car is just sitting in my driveway. I tried starting it once and it refuses to start up. The sound upon startup can be described as either a "sputtering or gurgling" sound coming from the "rear-right" side of the car, most likely from the engine compartment. (CEL is still blinking)

One more thing I forgot to mention was that during the month prior to this problem, I noticed that the engine would make a "ticking" sound when idling at stop lights. Im not sure if this is an indication of the problem im having now.

Anyways, Im getting the CEL codes this week. I'll keep all of you posted.

Thanks for the advice.

Could be any number of issues. Coils are one answer. You have an individual coil over each spark plug well. Could be bad fuel pump. Could be bad DME computer, was the battery disconected or dead? Best idea is have a qualified Porsche shop do a diagnostic. I would also email the experts on the PCA.org site in the Tech Q&A section.
