Okso I have a 98 honda accord ex sedan with an automatic transmission it has the 2.3 liter vtec motor. Now heres my question about a week ago my check engine light came so i went to autozone to have them pulled they gave me
P0301, P1259, P0300, P0302, P1706. and i didnt know what to think because as of late she had been running good every once in awhile she would idle rough for a few min then fix itself, but then last night took me 30min to get it started.

Depends do you know what the codes stand for? If it's just in need of new spark plugs and a timing belt and maybe some cleaning of the gaskets (not easy, but what my check engine light was on for my v6 2k1[which took a local shop only one night to do]) then I think it's well worth it. I guess if your gaskets are in desperate need of cleaning and replacement and it's ignored too long, it can really mess up your engine. It costed me $500 to have them replaced btw.

Mmk so you're codes are for cylinder misfires, random misfires, vtec solenoid, and automatic transmission position. Now you gotta think if there is a problem that could link all the problems together such that there is one solution to all of the problems. Your best bet would be to search the forums for similar problems and then google to double check the answers you got. From there figure out prices. I would start with the basic repairs and go up in price with each step I.e spark plugs and wires up towards replacing sensors and what not. If it gets fixed its fixed hurray! But if it doesn't get fixed and you have the means to buy another car then set a price limit on it and once you hit it then sell the car and find something else. That's my opinion, take it for what its worth and best of luck fixing it

If they are misfires, you should check your oil/spark plugs. Might just need a good tune up.
