ok, so my car was doin this and i posted a thread and nobody answered, and there was some one with the same problem. i found out wat it is...
If your customer complains that the engine
hesitates briefly when accelerating, chances are
the ECM/PCM is ordering fuel cutoff because of
low or delayed engine oil pressure to the VTEC
system. Typical causes for low or delayed oil
pressure are low oil level, a dented oil pan that’s
touching the oil pickup screen, or some other oil
flow restriction.
When the throttle opening, vehicle speed, engine
coolant temperature, and engine speed indicate
that VTEC is needed, the ECM/PCM turns on the
VTEC solenoid valve.
Oil pressure should immediately turn off the
VTEC oil pressure switch. But if the switch stays
on (because of low oil pressure), the ECM/PCM
orders fuel cutoff and shuts off all the fuel
injectors. Normally the ECM/PCM turns on the
MIL and sets DTC P1259 (VTEC system
malfunction). But if the oil pressure switch turns
off before the ECM/PCM sets the DTC, the engine
hesitates and then runs normally.
To fix this engine hesitation, troubleshoot the oil
level or oil supply problem.
