Hey people, my ECU is given me this code p1259, it says that is a VTEC malfuntion, but the only thing that I change to this car is take the CAT out (of course the ECU also said that), and connect the VAFC, so if someone can tell me what can produce this code please let me know. The car is a Honda Civic, 2000 year, SI, Coupe, with the B16A2, USA version, and the f.....OBDII system (I hate this system). Well I am ready to listen what you have to say....By the way I DO KNOW MY ENGLISH IS NOT SO GOOD, so please be nice and understand that I live in a country that speak spanish THANKS.....

VTEC...

 

Okey good to see that you understand the bottom line....What else smarta......

 

Code P1259?? Do you get that if you use one of those OBD2 readers? Like they have at Autozone?

 

I dont think his phone is working.

 

I took the car to my mechanic and he plug hes laptop in a plug next to the drivers seat.

 

so you installed a VAFC into the car and you have a CEL now?

 

Well can you said something with sense

 

tell me how you wired up the VAFC... did you install the VTM wire?

if you did. did you install the VTM wire off the VAFC to the ECU or into the engine harness?

 

Nope, can you tell me what is the VTM???? Please I think my mechanic do not used, he just install the same wires than in my old OBDI

 

so your mechanic installed the VAFC for you? im gonna need to know what wires on the VAFC he hooked up to the ecu.

i need the following

VAFC color wires connects to ECU wire color and spot

 

Yes he did it and he said that the diagram does not appear any VTM on the ECU

 

what ECU are you using?

 

The standard ECU that came with the car....OBDII, ITP.

 

i need to know what wire is going to what wire and spot on the ECU.

 

Did you know the meaning of the letters VTM

 

VTEC Oil Pressure Signal.

Vtec Equipped cars must have at least 55 psi of oil pressure to engage in vtec.

 

obviously the vafc is at fault here...

Its the vtm wire.

 

U need oil, trust me check your oil level it will be low. The VTEC light will come on befor your oil light, when driving high rev without oil.

 

your problem is that Vtec never worked in the first place...

V-tec....Phhh


i cant believe people still dont know about boost...?

Trying to act cool eh?

 

Thanks to everybody to try to help, like in all the world always we find persons that only try to jogs about what you are trying to said.

By the way can be the oil level, because it was just a little bit down from the normal level. But any way I will try to find wich wire to use to plug the VTM from the VAFC. If someone knows please tell me the color.
