Find someone with a Diablo and check that code....find out exactly what it is and call PSI.

Ya i pulled it with my SCT and it was a 1233 and a 0190. The 1233 I know is fuel system off line. had it thrown when my BAP went out not sure of the other.

That sucks man! Just a little heads up, his insurance company might try to not cover the damage to the front of your car. They might try to say had you not been so close to the other car the front damage may never have happened. I hope they treat you right though man, good luck!!!!

that's shitty but atleast it wasn't your fault and the damage to the cobra is repairable. I had that same accident happen to me about 2 years ago while driving my DD

Well friday night I was leaving my girlfriends house and it was still early so I was gonna take the long way around and do a little cruising. Exited 1960 off 45 and headed east on 1960. I get through the first coule lights and this guy in this probe gt is trying to mess with me. Knowing better I gave him no attention, and continued on. I switch lanes to the far left lane and am just minding my own when the the truck in front of me slams on his brakes and came to an abrupt stop. I stopped shy of him and the next thing I know the guy in the probe slammed into the back of me probably going bout 30mph. As a reaction the being hit so hard I got ahoved under the truck in front of me. The truck had no rear bumper so the frame of his truck did work on my front end!!

Damage in pics does not look as bad as in person and lets just say I was pissed to say the least. The hood no longer shuts, cracked in 14 places and is destroyed. The heat exchanger is busted and barly hanging on, radiator is bent along with the main crossmember the holds the radiator in. The front bumper has 1 giant hole and several smaller ones. The rear bumper has a crack across the entire top along with several smaller holes. The deck lid is crack and now to top it off the rearend is making noise too. My check engine light is on also say something bout the fuel system.

Sorry long post but I needed to get that out. I hope it all gets worked out and back up the prestine car it used to be.

Any thoughts or body shops would be appriciated too.:blue:

Keep on top of the Probes insurance company. Technically it wasnt your fault you hit the truck, but Ive seen several people get screwed over for failure to maintain a safe distance. Depending on the trucks damage, you may have to file a claim on your policy to fix your front end.

Curious how this turns out...Keep us updated!

Dang, probed in the butt.

Hope everything works out for you - at least you have an excuse to buy a new hood. I had an accident like that happen to me, except I was the truck in front and the middle car got creamed - early 80s car all steel broke the rear axle.

good luck.
