engine light, power light is on, sunroof???

i fixed the problem with my sterring wheel, i figured out how to open the sunroof but you have to push up on it to open it, do i have to lube it or something, thats only one of the problems i have... every once in a while the check enginge light will turn on but will usually turn off right away, usually it only does it when i first turn on the car it will stay on for about a minute then turn off, another thing is when i was driving down the road i pushed the pedal to the max for the passing gear to kick in and it dident kick in till like 2-3 seconds later, and when that happened i noticed the green light that says "Power" turned on but turned off it only happened to me once but its still something to worry about. if any one knows of these problems please let me know, the guy who i bought it from was replacing the brake pads, some seal that was leaking and some hoses i think somewere under the engine,he also changed the oil and the brake fluid , as soon as i get time and money i need to take it to get a tune up, maybe they will be able to figure out whats wrong, any help will do...thanks

The power light comes on if you push the gas pedal down fast - it changes where the transmission shifts. This is normal, not to worry about. Not sure about the slow shift - sometimes you are just at the wrong speed and the tranny doesn't know where to go when you floor it.

Look in the how to lockers for pulling up engine codes so you can find out what code was flashing your check engine light

Cleaning and lubing the sunroof track will help.
