Default Solenoid resistance too low -- damage car's computer?

I can add a driving relay between the computer and solenoid for a lot
less than what a factory solenoid would
cost.

Or a transistor. Possibly a switching transistor. Or maybe the
aftermarket relay has a diode across the coil to save it from spikes or
to elimate interference to the original transistor/circuit.
