Hi all,
In need of some help please!
As we've all got a bit more time on our hands with lock down, I thought I'd buy a borescope to have a look inside my engine. Pleased to report all looked well, but...
When I put everything back together my 2006 Cayman S manual won't start! Video below showing what happens but in summary it: makes a clicking sound, gives a PASM failure alert, gives PSM failure alert and the driver side window starts going down! What on earth have I done!

To be really clear in what I did, I...
1. Jacked up the car, removed the passenger side rear wheel and two internal wheel arch covers.
2. Unplugged the coil packs on cylinders 5 & 6
3. Unscrewed the coil packs on 5 & 6 and removed them
4. Unscrewed the spark plugs, had a peer inside with my camera
5 I then realised pistons 5 & 6 had come to rest near the end of the cylinder so I couldn't see much of the cylinder wall which was what I wanted to look at, so i put everything together and went to start the engine. At this point it turned over a few times but didn't start (it normally starts first time every time) but I didn't think much of it.
6 I then took coil packs and spark plugs out of 5 & 6 to have another look now the pistons had moved.
7 Then I put it all back together and am now stuck with it not starting as shown in the video
Any help is very much appreciated!!
Thanks in advance,
Jon
