“I was traveling on my motorcycle in 6th gear when all of a sudden my check engine light came on and I had no throttle response. I had to do an emergency stop on the side of the road. This is extremely dangerous since I was in rush hour, I was very lucky I was able to get over to the shoulder safely with no throttle response.”
