    Default civic si problems

    the other day I was driving down 285, and accelerated to about 85 or so, when a check engine light came on. When I checked the code, it gave a P1259. During the same day, my oil light flashed for a second(changed my oil the next day). I also changed my intake filter last week, and it was a little loose when I opened the hood, so i tightened the clamp. Any idea what this could be?

    vtec system malfunction. make sure the vtec solenoid screen isn't clog. Check your oil level. Check the oil pump (might have gone bad).
