Reving up to 4 & 1/2 RPM before shifting into next gear

Does anyone else have this problem? It's frustrating. I just bought my 2001 Honda Civic and I'm having problems. The shifter wouldn't shift into drive without unlocking it and then the check engine light went on. Anyone with solutions to these problems PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!!

I am sure you know that you have to step on the brakes in order to be able to shift out of park. If you can't shift out of park even while stepping on the brakes, the problem is usually a broken switch at the brake pedal or a broken solenoid at the base of the shift lever.
