I think the speed sensor is the usual problem, but don't jump to the
conclusion on my say-so.

Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS). Common fail point.
Is the Check Engine light on?

Had the same problem on my 98 civic a couple years ago. Speedo all
over the place while driving, and it idles a little weird. Check fuse
#15, is it blown? Is your check engine light on? If so, check out
the files located at this link, should help you:

It refers to TSB 99-029, and there are even pics of a wire thats
managed to rub enough to become bare and ground out that circuit which
affects the VSS and both O2 sensors. Re-shrink the wire and replace
the fuse and your back in business.
Hope this helps!
