Little problems with my new car...

First off I just got my mr2 today and upon having my dad drive it home (I'm only 15) we found several problems.

1) The check engine light turns on for about a minute then shuts off. And the some time later turns on again. Common problem?

2) The headlights turn on and off randomly. And since we were driving home late that was a big problem. If you kinda hold the switch thing they stayed on so that probably where the wiring is bad.

3) Over 60 the steering wheel starts vibrating like crazy. Maybe a suspension problem?

4) The pump for the windshield washer fluid is broke. Where can one order one of those?

5) In fifth gear it suddenly slips out into neutral. I've read that that's a common problem. There is another mr2 being sold for parts near us so we might just use that transmission. How easy is it to replace the transmission in one of these cars?

That is all I can remember for now, I really want to get this thing running real smooth pretty fast but I don,t have a full license yet so no big rush. And I think sitting in that car, turning the key and hearing the engine start was one of the best feelings I've ever had. (It being my first car and all) Thanks for any help guys.
