Check engine Light on. PLZ help
Well my check engine light came on yesterday so i took it to auto zone to get it hooked up to a cpu to find the problem. This is what they told me to write down and show it to someone at the Honda dealership:
P1259
Immobilizer to PCM Signal error
Does anyone know what this means?

Just to clear it up: "P" codes are specific to OBD2...and "P1" indicates a manufacturer specific code.
And you have a totally stock 97 Ex....I thought only Teg's came equipped with immobilizers???

No, sounds like the vtec solenoid is either not connected, or is a bad solenoid.
Jump the solenoid by taking a piece of wire and putting 12v volt to the solenoid. It should click. If it does, you have a wiring problem or bad connection. If it doesn't click, then the solenoid will need to be replaced.

Other than that, it's cake.
