So my check engine light is on and I got it diagnosed to being P1259 "variable valve timing electronic control system bank 1 malfunction". I just want some help on a few things because i've been told so many different things.
1. Is it still fine to drive? I unplugged my vtec wire(the one behind the dizzy) so that it doesn't engage. Just to make sure I don't mess anything up I guess.
2. Will this issue mess up my valves? I was told by a shop manager that it is a posibility.
and the most important...
3. How do I fix this? I haven't got a clue.
*EDIT: I saw a thread that said this problem may be due to low oil level, but my dipstick reads fine. Might do an oil change just to be safe though. But some responses would be nice just incase this doesn't solve the problem. My apologies for not searching thouroughly enough.
