P1259 Honda - runs fine and seems to be okay

Question

I've been driving the car, the engine light was already on because of a loose gas cap. I read te codes today thinking it's just the gas cap. But I just got this code. It's the first time I've ever seen it. I drive to school for about 40 minutes every day. It hasn't acted up etc. my code reader says the part is $10 dollars. Will it be okay to drive it until I can get it fixed?

Answer 1

HI there

This code is for a fault in the VTEC system. Many times this code is the result of low engine oil. It's safe to drive the car with the code, but you need to check the engine oil and make sure it's not low and causing the problem.
