Vauxhall Astra DTI 03 electronics warning light & limp mode?
When I turn the ignition on, the car turns over 6 - 7 times then starts. This car & spanner symbol, and a radiator symbol next to it on the display, both stay on. The car can be driven - but very slowly. When car was checked with computer, it showed crankshaft error. I'm to hear more later from a mechanic. Maybe someone has had something similar ?
Could be throttle pedal position sensor.
It happened to me last week, nearly caused an accident.
Garage spray cleaned it in situ and it's now OK (until next time).
