Malfunction Light/ engine cutoff

Hey guys, I was driving home tonight and then all of the sudden, when I took off from a light, my engine kinda shut off at 4K rpms, so I shift to 2nd and still the same thing. It only did that for about 10 mins or so. Does anyone know what it could be. I looked at the sensor on my intake and it is kinda loose, but I don't know if that would cause the 4K rpm thing. Please help!!! I searched, but couldn't find anything on this particular problem.

It means the car is running in safe mode. Go hook it to an odbii reader and see what the code means.

02CIVYEX has a little shameless behaviour in the past
well i also have that code too but taking to the dealership to fix it on 11-17-04 hopefully my warranty would cover it. I wanted to fix it myself but don't know where the problem at or start at

I have that same code!!!! I erased it and it did not make a change, but my engine is not cutting out like that.
I can drive agressive.. It is about 7/10ths slower now in the 1/4 mile since that code has come on.

HondaGuy7 is an unknown quantity at this point
I also have the 1259 code on mine. I have to keep on resetting it by unhooking the battery to take it out of safe mode. I also had a 1298 code (Electrrical Load Detector Circuit Low Input) and a Control Fuel Ait Metering problem. I really need help if anyone knows what to do.

So, there wasn't hardly any oil in my car. I don't know how that happened because I baby that car. Now, that it has new oil and I reset everything it is preforming alot better. The V-Tech does use oil so if it doesn't have enougth then it will go into safe mode I guess.
