First of all it didnt say something vtec some shizz it said P1259 VTEC System Malfunction... Which means you could have a pretty serious problem get a helms manual and go through the troubleshooting for that code..
It says probable causes could be the VTEC solenoid valve, open or short in VTEC solenoid, Valve circuit, VTEC pressure switch, open or short in VTEC pressure switch circuit, ECM

Try resetting your ECM... unplug your BACK UP (7.5A) fuse from the under-hood fuse/relay box for 10 seconds

Also so you dont get flamed and so people can understand you and help you a little easier write a little more clearly

 

ya i know. my grammer kinda bad. but what the worse case can happen? with the vtec issue? . thank you.

 

honestly i don't really understand...i kno u want some sort of comment so i'm leaving one...cars and racing is an expensive sport...it seems like everything will be expensive...as for ur issue? u say it struggles between 0 and 3000 rpms? maybe its your throttle body? intake? idk...i'm sorry i can't really help but at least i'm responding

 

I dont think anything bad will happen, as in irrepairable damage but basically the vtec wont engage and you'll be loosing power and your car probably wont rev past about 7k

google search hondahookup manuals you can find information in there about how to test the electronics and fix whats wrong

 

vtec not engage? buh my vtec is still kickingg in tho.. hMmm. thank you steveo135 for ya opinion tho. really appreciate it. hopefully my problem be solve soon hehe.
