P0205, P0011 CEL After Coolant Pipe Change
I have been leisurely changing the coolant pipes on my 04 CTT over the past week. On the way home one day, I got a check coolant level light. The engine temp went up from the half way point to slightly under the 3/4 point on the temp gauge. I got home after a minute or two, opened the hood and sweet coolant smell. I was so pissed that I have decided to sell all of my porsches (except one).
The coolant pipe change was a real pain in the butt. I took my time to make sure that I did it right. Tonight, I got it reassembled, filled it with coolant and started the engine. Everything seemed ok except for a slightly rough idle. I didn't drive the car because the weather was rough. I turned off the engine to check to make sure everything was hooked up. I then restarted, still had the slightly rough idle and now a CEL. Hooked up to durametric. Got codes P0011 and P0205:
P0011
A Camshaft Position -Timing Over-
Advanced or System Performance B1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
P0205
Cylinder 5 Injector Circuit
No signal / Communication
Present
I've been able to find info about P0011. Seems like it comes up all the time for many reasons. Any ideas in this case? I am thinking that one probably isn't my problem and that the P0205 is the problem. I am assuming that cylinder 5 is not firing which is causing the rough idle. I really cannot figure out why that cylinder wouldn't fire. I am baffled. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
After wards, I realized that I forgot to put the coolant cap back on when the engine was running. I doubt that had anything to do with the P0205 code.
Am I correct in stating that cylinder 5 is the front drivers side cylinder?

P0205 Solved. It appears that somehow I cut one of the wires going to the cylinder 5 injector connector. That is now fixed however my questions stands about the P0011. Not really sure what caused that- could it be because I forgot the coolant cap off when I ran the engine?
