Default CEL, check control module after changing spark plugs

Got CEL, check control module after changing spark plugs. Not sure what’s causing the CEL. OE plugs and checked gap prior to install and torqued per spec. Any suggestions?

I'm reading into this that the Porsche started. Also, that there was no shuddering/shaking. Question: did you do one plug at a time? What I'm alluding to, is you might have mixed up two of the spark plug ignitors. Each one is set to a particular cylinder. If that was not the case, double check all your work. Look to ensure everything has been properly reconnected.

Yes one plug at a time. It ended up being broken plug on cyl 6. All good now.
