While driving my car engine started to die and then the check engine light came on. Car started to drive fine, but when checked to see trouble codes, I had a P1259 VTEC code malfunction. I'm assuming P1259 is a VTEC code on the Insight. My freeze frame data is as follows.

Fuel Sys1: Open Loop Driving
Calculated Load: 50%
Coolant Temp: 197.6 deg F
Short Term FT,B1:0.0%
Long Term FT,B1: 0.0%
Manifold Absolute Pressure: 14.8inHg
Engine RPM: 4625RPM
Speed: 53.1MPH
Intake Air Temp: 116.6Deg F
Throttle Position: 24.3%

Any help will be appreciated.

if you dont understand, a haynes from your local parts store will have the diagrams and explanations in them for you.
