Shifter button on motor swap??? Hello All,
I work for a towing company and we got in a 00 Civic with a D15 from a 95 in it. It has a rebuilt motor and tranny in it so i ouwld like to keep it for myself (if i can get it smogged in CA). It has an aftermarket push button zip tied to the shifter. The wires run to the motor to a blue round solinoid type piece (pictures attached). My ? is what the heck is this for? With the engine idleing if you push the button it kinda bogs down.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
