Db9 , urgent engine service

[ian448]

out for a drive today , car running perfect, went to get petrol re started car to be met with emissions service req . No issues I thought , started to drive away and engine sounded like a bag of spanners and urgent engine service light came on. Limped the car the few miles home and here it sits.
Sounds / feels like its on half power , I know its easy to reset emissions service light with an OBD reader but has anyone got any ideas on the urgent engine service.
I checked the 20a fuses in the engine fuse box for each bank of the injectors but they were fine.
Any ideas would be gratefully accepted.

That few miles could have done an enormous amount of damage and could cost you a new engine.

I regulary see cars that have either overheated, rattling or a flat tyre "limped" home, only to do a vast amount of damage. Did you even lift the bonnet and check oil and water?

Getting it home with a warning showing is one level of risk, but actually hearing an engine rattle and effectively continuing to drive it is on a whole new level .

A level you may pay dearly for!

Code reader came up with 3 codes relating to the throttle , particularly throttle A in stuck position . A good spray with cleaner a good blatt and all good again . Car had been stood for several weeks so presume butterfly had become gummed up
