Default Need Help! Car Not Starting

Hi, new member here. I was trying to fix the radio on my GFs 997.2 Carrera (non-turbo) and was checking all the fuses in the box. I noticed some were missing and stupidly added the ones missing according to the diagram. Later I realized one of them that I put a fuse in was for D2, fuel pump 2 TURBO ONLY in a non-turbo car. Now the car won't start and it feels very much like a fuel issue. Did I mess up the fuel pump? Please help!

Got it started! It was most likely fuse D4. Shows blank on the diagram but in the list it says DME control unit TRM87 Injection valves (only SRE). Put a fuse in and it started. When I pulled it, the engine stopped immediately

It took me years to learn this, and I still forget it sometimes:

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

As Brad Hamilton said, ,"Learn it, know it, live it."
