Code # 1259 - 7/22/2005 3:49:09 PM    Uncle T   Posts: 4 Joined: 7/22/2005 Status: offline I have a 99 Accord 2.3 liter manual transmission. In every gear the car will stutter and drop out of gear at 4000 rpm's. I borrowed a computer and it came up with code 1259, which says "VTEC malfunction". There are 4 codes for "Vtec malfunction", how do I narrow it down a bit? Thanks in advance Uncle T Post #: 1

This is a high level procedure and I'm not sure you will be available to perform it at home. To make the story short : it could be open between the Solenoid to ECU, Valve to ECU or damaged ECU, but like i said - unless you're really good with electronic diagnostics in cars I wouldnt recommend to do it yourself.
