One problem related to ignition coils failure has been reported for the 1999 Honda Civic. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Vehicle has stalled once while idling and twice while driving - once on a city street and once at highway speed. On the highway, the car initially hesitated and then I felt a 'thunk' in the drivetrain {as if the engine restarted with a surge}, all of the dash lights flashed at least 3 times accompanied by a relay clicking with each on / off cycle. The speedometer gyrated about my actual speed ~5 mph below and then above before the engine completely died and I coasted to a stop. After turning the ignition off, the car restarted immediately as if nothing had happened, and I was able to resume driving normally. Although the ignition recall has been completed for this car, I am suspecting the problem could be the same issue the recall was supposed to prevent. The ignition coil, distributor and rotor, and wires were all recently replaced and a tune-up performed at the Honda dealer. No check-engine faults were captured during any of the stalling events that would have caused the check-engine light to come on.
