My Honda crv starts acting like a buckin' bronco at 2800rpm. OBD2 code P1259.
Translation: Honda VTec engine has variable valve timing. At 2800rpm it hydraulically switches to different timing to make more power at higher rpm. There are two parts that control it. When one of these components fail you get a P 1259 code A: Oil pressure switch, less than $6. And,
B: VVT Solenoid/Actuator $60.
Not knowing which will fix the problem, I ordered the cheaper part. I beseech thee Providence, Great Architect of the Universe who doth shine favor on America.... Oh enough Enlightenment twaddle. Jesus, my best friend who loves me you know how things are could you gimme a break and let the cheap part be the fix? If it ain't then I'm still scoring triple bogeys which is normal, so if my busted frozen knuckle blood is required that's cool too. If this existence was a zero sum game and all there was I'd be pissed because I'd be paying for some strangers charmed life. There is more and if there's blessings in the world to come commensurate to my daily bite, chew, swallow repeat crap sandwich, then I'm most fortunate indeed. So what, it will need the more expensive part, I can't prove it but, I know. So why bother asking for prayer. Well consider it as a little Cajun seasoning on my crap sandwich. I'm blessed to own a one acre sized workshop, the great outdoors. I'll gladly do it in the rain, snow and ice, but hold back the hurricane force winds when I fix it please.
I was thinking the other day when it bucked on me "Ah! Bleep! Blankity! Blarp! This NEVER happens in June or any warm month it's ALWAYS freakin' January when it's 5°!!!!!" True dat.
