Default Need a little help

Ok, my buddy has a 2010 street glide, 96", 255s, heavy breather, v&h propipe and direct link tuner with about 15k miles...yes he's a self proclaimed fair weather rider lol. Pulled the bike out of the garage to start it, to take for a short ride to warm it up to change his fluids. Bike starts up and idled fine while he's getting his gear on his wife was touching different things trying to diagnose a rattle, we figured reversion a long time ago, but she tapped the shifter into first gear and the bike lurched forward and stalled out but luckily it didn't fall over. So he puts it back in neutral to restart it and it fired back up but now he has a check engine light and the throttle is not responding , he said he can hold it wide open and it barely gets to 2k rpm. Any ideas on where to start? Thanks for any help...oh and it's going to be in the high 50's tomorrow and it's been a long winter so it's a very serious situation lol
