If you have access to a spark tester, use it. Otherwise, remove the spark plug, reconnect it to the spark plug wire, and rest the tip or threads on a good engine ground, AWAY from the spark plug hole. Attempt to start it, and watch for spark. If none, replace the spark plug and try again. If still no spark, the magneto coil may be faulty.

First you will need a compression tester and tools to remove the spark plugs. Disconnect the coil so the engine will not start while testing. Remove spark plugs on the cylinders you want to test. Select the correct tester fitting for your spark plug thread size. Screw tester into the spark plug hole and crank over the engine for one to two seconds.

One of the things that a mechanic could be told to buy when working with spark plug wires could be a spark plug gap wire gauge. Another thing could be spark plug wire pullers.
The spark plug gap for a 1999 Honda Civic LX is 0.044. You can use a plug gap tester to check the proper gap. You should always check the gap on all spark plugs prior to replacing the spark plugs.
Disconnect the distributor cap end of the coil wire and attach to an ignition tester. Attach the ignition tester to a good ground, away from any fuel lines. A good spark tester can be made from an old spark plug gapped to 0.200". Crank the engine and observe the tester for spark. If a crisp blue spark is noticed, the ignition coil is working properly. If a pale yellow spark, or no spark, is noticed, the coil is more than likely bad.
