Unhappy I broke it

Hi Guys,

I did a STUPID thing didn't notice my fuel gauge warning light. The car started to shudder and I looked down to see I was on empty. Long story short: it died only 200 meters from the gas station

Anyway, I pushed the car down and filled up. After attempting to start it 5 or 6 times it shook and shuddered for about 30 seconds and a terrible smell errupted from the engine. Now it seems to drive ok, but my "Check Engine" light won't turn off. Should I just assume something's been triggered because I ran out of fuel, or should I take it seriously and go down to the local Porsche Centre?

Thanks for your help

Steve
