After seeing a post on the 986 Forum called "Knock Sensor Help" by Miles1, today I removed the front engine cover and used a flashlight to inspect the wires/harness from the knock sensor behind the alternator (see link/image below).

Looks like I will need to have the Knock sensor connector/wires replaced and the part I need is available on Parts Geek...
