Unfortunately, with diagnostic tools, you gets what you pays for......

ECM=DME
Yes I now see Porsche used that code for two different faults but the spring one my reader is reporting actually refers to the earlier cable throttle cars.

What would you recommend by way of a scanner or will I be into spending too much money for an amateur? I am using the icarsoft Porsche version.
