Being that Im not familiar with your generation of Civic, I cant identify the engine by appearance, but if you look under that left hose on the transmission you should see a stamp with a code on it beginning with a letter, 2 numbers another letter, and 1 number (ex: D17A1). Also, you should've asked AutoZone for the codes so you can research them online, because what they said doesnt make sense. You may have misunderstood them. Its possible the engine swap wiring was done incorrectly, and theres likely no way for us to tell you how to fix that when you're clearly not automotively inclined, but at least we can point you in the right direction.thats the engine they put, and i went to autozone to get the engine codes and they said that the ecm is running low? and that the other codes are probably wrong because of that.
That engine is just another D17 (A1, A2, A7 etc). Maybe it's a base model car and they swapped in a vtec motor. Or maybe the old engine blew and they just put in a replacement. Then said it's been swapped to make it sound cooler. It's a good reliable engine, just nothing special and not performance minded

Please pay attention to the dates as this post is 4.5 months old.That's a D17a1 without the vanity cover over the coils as far as I can see, it's the same motor I'm stuck with at the moment.
