so i have a 2002 accord v6 ex coupe and when im driving on it normally, nothing happens. but when i start dogging on it, it'll get to 3500 rpms and it'll cut power. like ill go to make a pull it it'll act like it wont shift and it just hit the rev limiter. but i can drive it normally right after?? it throws codes for p1259 (vtec system b1 failure) so i'm thinking vtec solenoid. like the whole oil filter housing with the oil pressure switch and the vtec solenoid. what do yall think? have yall ever ran into this before? i can attach videos if need be
How many miles have you got on 'er?
it throws codes for p1259
Follow these instructions:

Did you follow the instructions I posted? Step #1 is to reset the ECM.
You can do this by unhooking your negative battery cable, and then pressing your brake for 10 seconds.
Then you'll need a multimeter to do some electrical diagnosing per the instructions. Follow them step by step.
@imperator will this work for the 3.0l v6 j30 motor that’s in the 2002 honda accord?
open the link and see? It says right in the title.
@imperator will the timing belt affect that [expletive deleted]? i know it needs a timing job but idk if it will affect the vtec system
