This code is for a V-Tec valve control failure, which is why it doesn't come on until you hit 4200rpm. That's when the system activates. Check your connections at the V-tec solenoid/valve on the back of the head. You'll likely see it leaking quite a bit of oil leaking down the back of the engine from it. Don't bother messing with it, replace it. And don't use any kind of additives in your oil. (Slick 50, etc) These products notoriously clog the V-Tec valves. Good luck!

Same problem! Put in a new ignition switch (husband did of course!) and it worked! Very cheap, under $80.

SOURCE: My 95 Honda Accord won't start. There's No spark from the coil

Take the distributor cap off and have someone crank the engine. Is the rotor button in the distributor turning? If not, you lost a timing belt. I went through your same senario.

SOURCE: 98 Honda Accord LX CODE 1259

Code 1259 indicates a V-tec system malfuntion assuming your Honda isn't a DX? Disconnect the negative battery cable so that you can clear the code. If code returns, try cleaning and/or replacing the V-tec pressure sensor. I heard of someone that had the same 4000 rpm problem you speak of and this is where they solved their problem. Good luck to you.

Check turns

You should be getting a P code from an OBD2 scanner. It sounds like a vacuum leak though.

Abs light on

read the FSM?
read the TSBs?
car off then on, you mean starting,
and the only difference is the time off, ?
the abs glow, key on?, is self test passing, if you flip key fast and drive it crazy , you are the problem. let the poor thing finish its tests, key on, then start car.


the tests are in the FSM read it, ABS is complex.
ill try to look up 95, on line.

the 95 ABS has its own diagnostic jumper plug
did you jumper it and see if there are any DTC error codes, flashing out.?

the FSM page 19-68-70

see those flow charts, did you follow it?
did you see the list of 10 causes, for lamp stuck on? (not DTC)
one is alternator stuck on. charge lamp on, running.

here you can look for free. RTM,

In my 95 z43 the check engine light comes on and goes out as i am driving to me it seems electrical and i replaced the throttle position sensor and the idle air control sensor both did not fix the problem...

The check engine light comes ON when the cars computer(the ECU) notices any kind of electrical problem in car.In some cases the check engine light comes on then turns off.In that case the exact error is not getting confirmed so this happens.But once the problem gets confirmed the engine light will remain permanently ON till the problem gets solved.In this case i suggest you to get your car scanned at autozone service center.Its absolutely free.In case in the car scanning,if any error code is retrieved then you can check which part is faulty as per the error code.In case if no error code is retrieved then you can continue driving,till you get any confirmed indication. ---------- This will help.Thanks.Helpmech.

Check engine light for 1995 honda accord lx wont turn off

Try driving for a while, it should go out. Unless fixing the oxygen sensor uncovered a new problem. Maybe the MAF sensor is going bad.
