Hi and welcome to FixYa!

P1259 means VTEC system malfunction. Low oil level and a bad oil pressure switch for vtec can cause this. It can also be a faulty vtec solenoid.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

Check engine light came on throwing two codes P1167 and p1259 I need help!

Oxygen sensor is not communicating with the ECM and the Vtec code is for the internal valve timing and cylinder shut down after reaching highway speeds. Dealer ship repair or a shop you know has the tools to fix the internal engine parts as well as the electronics that control the engine.

p1259 is a problem with the VTEC system. this system is for improved performance at higher rpm's. oil can get sludged up and clog the system, or the VTEC solenoid can just go bad. you can always have someone with a scan tool clear the codes to turn off the light, but until the problem is fixed, it will just keep coming back on

My Acura TL 1999 is showing check engine light, P1259

Check the oil level on level ground.

V-TEC valve open at the pre-set RPM is total depend on the oil to opening the third valve.

If the pressure is not at the right level then the lifting will not be completed.

The lift sensor will trigger P1259 to warn the driver for V-TEC malfunction
