Sounds like a distributor or timing issue, a common issue
with these cars sometimes. Our Civic LX was giving us the same codes, We
replaced the distributor and reset the timing... problem resolved. Not sure
about the 2005 Civic year model, the ignition system may have changed with the
newer models...

May just need tighten up a little check the belt see if its dry rotten.
SOURCE: how do you read the engine light codes on 2005 civic lx
Teh check enign light needs to be rwad from a scanner/code puller. you can buy a cheap one at harbor freight or ebay. AZ/Advance auto pulls the code for free as well.
No there is no filter in the gas fill spout. If you drop soemthing its more then likely in your gas tank. Only was to get there is to drop the tank. What did you put in it?

Are you sure you wrote the correct code. According to Honda, P1298 is a high ELD circuit voltage. If what I just put is correct, Honda has a service bulletin as this is a common problem( it could be another fault, but this is the most likely choice).
The ELD has a bad solder joint. I have done several of these, you will need to replace the ELD, and this is how.
1 D/C the negative battery cable (make sure you know your radio code, it will be needed to use the radio again)
2 Unbolt the fuse box that is in the engine bay.
3 Attached to the fuse box underneath there is a plastic cover, remove this cover.
4 There is a 3 pin connector under this cover. Remove it
5 Flip the fuse box back over, there are 2 big fuses bolted down, a 40 A and a 80A
6 Under these fuses is the ELD, remove it and pull the bar that sticks out of it.
7 Stick the bar in the new ELD
8 Put everything back together. Do the idle learn (just idle the car for 10 minutes with no loads on such as radio, headlights etc..)
This is probably the first thing they will do if you bring it to Honda assuming the code you have is P1298.

If O2 sensor is bad then the vehicle will idle rough and run rough
SOURCE: My 2000 honda civic has two error codes coming up,
well i would replace the o2 sensor and find out why you got a cylinder 3 misfire,most likely plugs and wires will do the trick
