I've searched everywhere between H-T & T-I and found alot of cases but none of them really solved the problem i'm having. As the title states I pulled a P1259 (VTEC malfunction)
so me and my buddy;

1.) Checked my oil level first...it was fine

2.) Then the solenoid screen, and that wasn't clogged up at all.

3.) It's not the solenoid itself because I can still hit VTEC (only did it once to check but not anymore).

So here's what happens(and again I just do this to test it out)

When I drive and i have the gas pedal about 85%-90% to WOT the car just sputters, then stalls. Then I can quickly let of the gas and it will start back up.

Here are my mods: Intake, headers, exhaust(straight pipe), intake manifold, Hondata IM gasket, the car is a 1998 GSR with 108,000mi car is overdue for an oil change so i was going to do that today and see is that fixes it, but my friend was a tech for acura and he couldn't figure it out he's taking a thourough look on Sunday but if anyone can help me out that would be excellent.

Thanks in advanced for your help.

I had the same code not too long ago and had all the same symptoms. Turned out that the rad fan fuse had blown and the fans were not coming on at all. Check that fuse under the hood.

 

Sounds like it isnt getting enough fuel or a lack of spark if its just cutting out like that.

 

the fans still come one, and i'll check the spark plugs and sensors. Thanks again for the help.

 

spark plugs were the problem
