Everyone of those thoughts has realistic potential, I know what my project this break is going to be...
I got my car back early today
Even though I was really bummed last night, I managed to not dwell.
The check engine light was burnt out, not taken out, and not messed up because of the ecu.
I replaced the check engine bulb today, IT WORKS, it is lit up, but IT WORKS!
The code Honda said is a P1259 Vtec system failure.
It was stated that the Vtec pressure switch has continuity, which is great
BUT the ECM/PCM fails and the order of operations Honda says to follow under those conditions is to replace the ECU..
I told them that I desire to exhaust every other alternative when a reasonable financial limit before I outright special order a brand new $1200 part.
As Pendragon stated worst case scenario is the car just stops running, I'm unsure whether it could happen in the middle of driving though (that concerns be a bit) or if it simply wouldn't start when/if it completely stops working.
On the plus side the car drives better than ever. It feels younger, more energetic, lively and revitalized. If that makes any sense.
As for today i'm just happy to have my car back.
